That argument is true today, but over time, I think the gap will close.

A similar argument could be made in the mid-20th century against television. Back then, picture quality was low, screen size was small, and sound quality was terrible. Many writers said that the television would never be able to produce visuals better than your imagination.

Today, television is the best medium for telling a long form story with excellent fidelity. Computers are so advanced that the average viewer often can't see the difference between CG and practical effects.

Video games will eventually get there. Maybe the secret is VR, maybe it's something else. I just know that I stuck a Vive headset on my father-in-law and he was giggling and smiling the whole way through.
