The Wii is roughly twice as powerful as a PS2. Expect the graphics to get better over time. It's already looking nice for Medal of Honor: Vanguard and Sonic. I know it'll never be as good as the 360/PS3, but the Wii isn't as weak as you make it out to be.
Unfortunately, it just does NOT have the CPU to process the 1:1 movement everyone wants...
You're wrong on many accounts ...
The Gamecube was (roughly) twice as powerful as the PS2 and the Wii is (roughly) twice as powerful as the Gamecube; this means that the Wii would be (roughly) four times as powerful as the PS2.
Secondly, the CPU is powerful enough to do 1 to 1 movements (and the Wii can do one to one movements) the problem is gesture lag. Consider the act of writing a word on a piece of paper, people who complain about this lag expect that a computer could know what the word is by the initial stroke on the initial letter of the word; an impossible task. Developers will pay more attention to this over time, and adjust the gesture they're looking for appropriately so the lag is less noticeable.
