No.

I have been slopping out games for years now. The graphics don't matter unless the gameplay does. The gameplay doesn't matter if the game is too hard or too easy.

The games that do well, like literature, survive because they touch the soul.

This is a great comment.

I've seen people turn away from interesting games because of the difficulty.

I've also seen people turn away from genuinely fun games because they didn't like the graphics though.
