That's your opinion of course, but it's also a very strong statement to make, considering the fact that, for example, in the 8bit and 16bit generations, gameplay was generally the major focus, because while they were still gorgeous for their time (and compared to older polygon games still are), those classic games couldn't get all that elaborate with graphics or presentation, so (at least with the GOOD ones), they had to have a lot of substance. In my personal opinion, the best games from those generations trump anything that has come out since the PS1/N64 era began onwards. That certainly isn't to say that there haven't been some truly amazing, deep and fun to play 3D games. Of course there have. But I think overall, it's not even necissarily a matter of 2D vs. 3D, it's a matter of the more powerful consoles get, and the better graphics get, the more big developers especially raise their budgets and try (pointlessly) to be on par with big budget hollywood films, etc., that games have gotten further and further away from what made then fun and such a great passtime in the first place.
