Btw i can not jump from roof to roof in real life nor i can fight aliens nor i crash and burn and drive a car like a maniac....i wish i could in real life but i cant.
Realist graphics give u that chance...simple
Both can be great. I love photorealism, Uncharted and MGS4 just wouldn't be the same without it. It makes you feel like you actually are the character.
Stylised video games make you feel like you are experiencing a work of art. However, some games take it too far. In fact, your example. Mirror's Edge.
The entire city is white and red! It's hideous! Really, really hideous! The white shines in your eyes, and the red sticks out like a sore thumb. Of course, the graphics aren't the only thing wrong with that game, let's not forget the ridiculously short length and the fact that the story is never really explored.
Okami, Valkyria Chronicles, these all look great, VC in photorealism would be hideous. It just takes away from the 'artistic' feel of the game.

Once the game looks decent and has a good art direction, i'm happy. i'll become bored of games if they all looked like what I have to see every day.
MGS4, inFamous, GoW3, Uncharted, Valkyria Chronicles, Naruto: UNS, these games look great to me, I don't need more.

Who's to say that the two won't be merged, look at dating sims in Japan.

Also, if VC used photorealism instead of its gorgeous art style, low textures would be exposed since the game is low budget.
To be honest, and I don't mean this in a mean way, but I think your thread fails because of your assumption that people think realistic graphics are important.
People generally don't find realistic graphics important.
Look at the sales charts: Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. Halo, Super Mario, Final Fantasy, Pokémon... All these games have fantastical graphics, not realistic. Realistic looking games tend to sell much less than fantastical looking games.
