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.

I'm sorry but I doubt people spend the amount of time that I do on console games on Ipad and facebook games to know if graphics are good enough. I put in 42 straight hours in Mass Effect 2 but if it looked and played like a Ipad game I would play for maybe 30 minutes. The graphics are good enough for causal gamers but not me and its just as important as gameplay and story for most gamers.

You are not the market, they are; and they are getting bigger.

And, how the hell do you spend forty-two hours straight playing a game? The only thing I've ever managed to do for forty two hours straight is breathe.
