i guess so. I think I would argue that HD is the "in" thing right now. And that standard def TV's are "out-dated." Since Wii is only standard def, then its "out-dated" as well. It's a pretty set point that Wii is outdated, underpowered, and doesn't compare to PS3 and XBox360 in terms of graphics. It only look good if it creates cartooney games that aren't meant to look life-like.
On a side note, I believe that catering to the high end market is a pretty smart move if you can do it correctly. If someone has like a 60 inch 1080p HDTV, then that person would have no problem plunking down a bunch of money for a PS3 and all the games for it. That person has a lot of money, and won't flinch at spending it to get the fullest experience out of his investments.
On the other hand, Joe Schmoe at Walmart with his 100 dollar TV probably won't be able to buy 10 games for his Wii. Maybe 1 game or so every 6 months, if that.
Wasnt that being a bit (or extremely) harsh? to say cartoony grahics are it for the Wii is way harsh. yes, its graphics are not as good as the amazing xbox and PS3, but it still has good graphics. its still way better than any of the last gens, and i do not recall durring the last gens anyone saying, "these consoles shouldnt try and do real life stuff, and just stick with cartoony graphics. anything more is playing with FIRE!" No, no one would ever suggest that. and to say that Wiis graphics are outdated is stupid as well. they may not be AS GOOD AS 360 and PS3, but they are not that far behind and are still really good. some of you seem like you are trying to suggest nintendo went back to pixles. they still upgraded the graphics for their next gen console, (Wii) they just focused on the important stuff more. i.e: gameplay.
A delayed game is good someday, a bad game is bad forever.
