Good game and good graphics is a good game.
Good game and great graphics is a better game. Besides power is used for more things than graphics alone.

True but at the same time:

Bad game with good graphics is a bad game.

Bad game with great graphics is not a better game.

True enough but the system has to be able to produce great graphics to ensure the better game status. Take Naughty Dog is games for instance without great graphics they would be lesser games.
