Its all in the eyes of the beholder.
Graphics whether anyone wants to admit it play a huge role in a game, or in a case of a movie the special effects. But the same applies for game play. If you can not find a medium between the two then you are doomed from the start. I can see one of the two, graphics and game play, taking a back burner to the other in development but this of course does not mean they do not think about it. Advances in technology is a great thing. This allows us to bring dreams to fruition. And we have seen this in some games this gen. In games like Uncharted we can see a hollywood style story telling with great game play with beautiful graphics. Developers who take the time can incorporate everything needed to make a wonderful experience if they just take the time and seek advice if needed.
