It depends on what you mean by "good graphics" ...
In many ways, the jump from the N64 to the Dreamcast/PS2/Gamecube/XBox was a major improvement that gamers in general were looking for; characters became far more expressive due to skeletal and facial animation, environments became far more densely populated and really started to resemble real world environments, and (in general) the richness of the game experience was greatly improved.
You can't make the same claims about the jump from the XBox to the XBox 360, because even the best games (Halo, Bioshock) are remarkably similar to games that were released nearly a decade ago; the XBox could support very similar gameplay and environment richness at the expense of the advanced shaders.
