>>Also, since graphics do appear to be important to you, take a look at Mario Galaxy.

I've looked at Mario Galaxy and the graphics aren't impressive in the least. I'm sure the gameplay will be great for people who like that kind of game but to me it looked like something from the early Gamecube days and collecting coins seems to look like it's really getting old (I guess it's like poeple complaining about FPS getting old). I've also looked at Super Smash Brothers Brawl and the backgrounds seemed to lack detail and the characters' facial animation seemed poor. As for Metroid Prime 3 it lacks detail compared to the shooters coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3.

>>The truth is, like I said, the Wii games do compare because they are obviously competing with HD big boys and are more than holding their own.

Sure it's competing in terms of the general mass market but in terms of people looking for great gameplay *and* HD graphics it doesn't.

You're assuming that everyone who owns a 360 or PS3 wants an HD experience when most of them really just want a gaming experience; it really doesn't matter what the resolution is.

I know that every 360 game I want I'm not buying because of graphics or they're in HD, hell, even the only type of games I usually like the graphics to look as good as possible(sports games--Madden 08) I want for the Wii. 

Relax people...

I stated Wii was not included.  Be a fan, but the posting was purposefully not about the Wii from the start.   This was about comparing the lineups for PS3 and 360.  I thought it was interesting to see the differences and what kind of opinions people had on those differences.

I have both a Wii and 360.  I love them both, but I would not compare their games lineup.  I will buy all games if they are on the 360 first because of the HD, Graphics, Sound, blah, blah, blah...  I buy a Wii game when it is interesting, fun, and fits with the controllers... 

PS3 and 360 have a lot of similarities.  That's why I wanted to compare the lineups.  (Hidden Agenda:  Also, I was thinking about buying a PS3, but to tell you the truth after going through this excercise, I don't see value for cost, so I will wait until it goes down in price and the content is there)  PS3 frankly is dissappointing to me this Xmas.  There are not many exclusive must haves that are not also appearing on the 360 between now and Xmas (Haze, UT3, and the Ratchet & Clank game?).  UT3 and Haze are coming to 360...  And I don't really care about the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD thing...  So, I will stand-pat with my Wii and 360 and wait for Sony to truely join the party.
