I don't understand "gameplay vs. graphics". They are both elements of a game and developers can pay as much attention to one, or both, as they like.

I think people do forget that "graphics" drive gameplay, though. We can only have awesome FPS games because of graphics improvements, not to mention three dimensional games like Mario Galaxy.

It's just not something I worry about and, frankly, I don't understand why people get in such a huff about it one way or another. I can appreciate a game with realistic graphics, like a Killzone, or great artstyle, like Valkyria Chronicles, or one that takes a minimalist approach, like Thomas Was Alone. There is nothing that says I have to like one kind or the other.
