Raw power can never replace good design. It can aid good design though with more advanced AI for example.
Most of the time the extra power budget gets spent on visuals however instead of improving performance the game just pushes more pixels and effects. Not that visuals are unimportant, good and concise visual design is an integral part of interacting with games, but photorealism isn't integral to games.
