your stating realism by the way things look. there's more to it than that. there can be more realism in terms of gameplay too.
i agree that violent games that have the characters killing people shouldnt be as real as can be. its violence, and when you play a violent game thats very realistic, it gives off a bit of influence.
but i dont find anything wrong with other genre's of games such as fighting, rpg's, racing, etc. to be realistic.
take FFX for example, the characters are meant to seem realistic. saying that they arent supposed to just seems wrong. if it didnt seem realistic, it just wouldnt be the same. it goes as well for games like GT3, if it wasnt realistic, there'd really be no point.
I'm not trying to badmouth 2D games or anything. sure, they're great. classics too. and i'll put one in everynow and then to play it. but saying that they look and play better? how can you even compare the games back then like that. they're almost completely different from the ones nowadays. i'd rather play a PS2 racing game instead of a SNES or even NES racing game. which do you think would look or play better? the PS2 one? or one of the others? it can be the same for many other games.
but dont get me wrong or anything, there are plenty of good games that are 2D that i think are great. for example, chrono trigger. a classic. i'd rather play it instead of handful of new aged rpg's.
and yes, gameplay does outweigh graphics. but graphics still do count. dont they?
