I guess everyone is different where they place the importance of graphics, but for me I place enough emphasis on it so that it does affect my overall decision of how much I enjoy a game. I know for a fact games like Final Fantasy would be less fun for me if they didn't have the amazing graphics that they do. Well, its actually more of their artistic style that I like, but graphics help bring out that artistic style.

In other words gameplay trumps it all. Graphics, music etc. are just sidenotes. I really can't believe any gamer plays a game for anything other than the challenge of the game. When the graphics were hopeless I still enjoyed playing good games. Now that they continue to get better it adds a coolness factor but it's somewhere way, way down below it being a good game. I guess if you aren't a serious gamer the peripherals might mean more!!!!!
