^ Actually, Japanese tend to like anime-esque games, which is probably why FF did so well post 7 when they became more anime-like AND also why RPG's/Gundam Games (any anime game really)/Cell-shaded tend to do better in Japan.
So technically they prefer graphics over gameplay, because a gameplay can be crap so long as it has a brand name attached to the face (thus being graphics) and it'll do well in Japan.
