What do you mean by "Post decent graphics"? Do you think we may get to the point where graphics are so universally good that there is little to distinguish them from another so instead gameplay and originality will be the criteria on which we judge games?
I'm not sure if I think that will possibly happen.

You may not be aware of the rate that graphics capability have progressed at as you do not have any insider contact with the games industry, but I can tell you that at the rate it's going at the moment, in 2 years time we will be seeing games with Half Life 2 graphics as ancient, which go back to a time when we couldn't quite make photorealistic games due to technological, software, and hardware limitations.
Cast your mind back to the Final Fantasy movie... that was almost completely photorealistic, and at times you could easily be fooled into thinking it was real - now, that was how many years ago? Yep, 4 and a half years ago. These days that level of realism has production costs that are a mere fraction of what they were when the FF movie was made thanks to the many advancements that the CG industry has experienced in the time between then and now.
So, if that was possible then, and things have improved hugely over these 4 and a half years since that film, imagine what must be possible now.
