I feel that we care for more on the graphics on 3DS titles than we did DS titles. Why is that?

I never owned a DS, so I can't really comment on that.

Graphics mean about as much to me in 3DS games as they do on any other console. I certainly want the game I'm playing to look nice. That does not have anything to do with the number of polygons being rendered or the complexity of the lighting.
