Graphics have always mattered, up to a certain point. Both Gamecube and Xbox were more powerful graphically than PS2, but the PS2 had visuals that were good enough for the majority of consumers. For that same majority of consumers, the level that was achieved last Gen is still, for the most part, good enough. Just look at the rise of Facebook games and other platforms like the Ipod. None of those offer graphic quality near that of the PS2, but that hasn't stopped them.
Graphic quality has reached a level where it is good enough for most people, that is why it's not as important this generation.
