what a novel concept.
A game with a great story will be boosted by amazing graphics. (RDR2, Cyberpunk).
Great stories will sell well, and sell well for a long time (Mass Effect, Dragon Age)
Great graphics will not be able to make up for a lackluster story (Pick any ubisoft game at random)
I want to add, good graphics doesn't mean realism. All that you listed (and essentially all AAA) go for realism, because they've sold the idea realism is the way it should look. I don't know about everyone else, but realist art is the least appealing to me. I can appreciate the skill and effort, but I can see better realism in real life. Games should try to be stylistic and intentional. They're art. They should be creative and not limit themselves to what the real world looks like.
