No, because you can beautifull graphics + good storyline, and still have good gameplay.

Its just not very many games have all 3.

At the same time, not very many games are that cinematic, either. People forget this. It's a small slice of the gaming market that you'll find stuff like this (and that hasn't changed gen-over-gen).

The japanese have something they call Visual Novels (games), and they are basically like playing a story from a art book.

You could argue those have the same issue, but honestly theres some good games like that.

Danganronpa is a exsample of it, and it works well I think, its by no means a bad game.

 

This cinematic thingy isnt something new, its just another form of games as you said.
