To me, the graphics race is a gimmick. And a very temporary one at that.
Gameplay is what is important. Horse power is only relevant, when it affects gameplay, not graphics.
The NES for example, could display graphics inferior to computers at the time. But the NES was good at side scrolling, and that affected gameplay. Ever since the horse power has been improved, but it only mattered because of what it did to gameplay. If I just wanted graphics I would play FMV CG games, and be done with it.
