see im not going to argue because I agree with you on your points on art. The way I see things though, the PS3 has the power to give depth and beauty to it's games. Its up to the developer to create that. The Wii I dont see being able to balance graphics and gameplay as well as the PS3 can. The 360 can do it too but the PS3 is a bit stronger and does have motion sensing in it's controller too which allows similar to what the Wii offers. In some situations the SixAxis will probably be better for some gameplay styles then then Wii Mote as the WiiMote will be better for others. Another key thing is storage space. Blu-Ray will play a serious factor in this generation as will the HDD. The HDD is standard in the PS3 which is good. Any doubters for storage space.. well.. my Unreal Tournament 2004 folder is up to 23GB of data from custom maps and mods. Basic install was 7GB. Final Fantasy 11 was more.. i think 9GB without updates. Also currently the PS3 is actually stronger then most PCs on the market.. the 2900XTX wont top the graphical abilities of the RSX+Cell. The 8900GTX probably will though.
@Bodhesatva - you are older then me, im 19. @twesterm - I got pulled into Resistance, and Motorstorm. I got the rush of feeling like I was Natham Hale or racing in my truck/rail buggy. Motorstorm actually made me want to buy a rail buggy. Which I plan to really soon =]

I think we're just going to have to leave this, because our definition of art is different. I'm thinking of high art, and I'm not sure that's your goal here. By your definition, the system that is the most technically powerful will ALWAYS be the best, but again, I really don't see why this wouldn't be high end PCs, and it certainly means the PS2 was inferior last generation. I doubt you feel the PS2 was the worst console, based on your previous posts.
There are already several standard model PCs that are more powerful than the PS3, thousands of customized models, and these numbers will only grow over time (within a year, very few new computer models will be less powerful than the PS3). If this is the definition of art, then the PS3 fails for the same reason the Wii does -- although it certainly fails less than the Wii in this department :p
Again, my personal goal -- and personal view of art -- is to find more complex stories and themes and provide intellectually stimulating gameplay. My person belief is that we are far away from being a mature art form in this department, but I believe the progress needs to go something like this:
Step 1) Stop making so many games about a super human who mows down hundreds of aliens/zombies/Nazis
Cooking Mama, the Sims, Brain Age and others are the first step in this direction, for me. Again, just my perspective. Step two will be better, more mature dialoge and social interactions, but we really need to keep moving towards step 1 first :p
