It is a bit of both i think, certainly games are meant to make a profit and companies want to sell as much as possible. The art in games is the graphics , design, gameplay, music, etc etc. Music in games is now on par with anything else out there, graphics are getting even more amazing and have terrific art direction (not to mention the concept art phase of games has some amazing drawings worthy of being put in a gallery). Gameplay is an art of how to make games fun, it's not easy either considering how many terrible games there are simply becuase of flawed gameplay.
