Dating back to the Intellivision when they advertised their superior graphics to the Atari VCS, people have always cared about visuals. We may seem to have an obsession today, but to some degree it's always been there and there has to be decent gameplay accompanying the high res graphics.
That said, even now a beautiful game won't necessarily sell as well as a fun one (such as the Order). Heck, in the past ten years probably the two most successful games were Wii Sports and Minecraft.
