I don't see it as harsh. I see it as a stylistic direction. I think a Cartoony Game like Jet Grind Radio or the Wii DBZ game looks gorgeous. Those type of games will look the same if they utilized HD and were ported to the PS3. And as for gameplay, I don't know if a game like "wario ware" or "cooking mama" would be any better if it was on HD anyways.
And I will concede the point to you that the Wii has the potential to be at LEAST Xbox x 2 in terms of graphics and power. Just as Sony can't get into a price war with Nintendo or Microsoft, Nintendo shouldn't try to get into a graphics war with Sony. You might as well gracefully accept defeat in the graphics department and go and play with your Mii or something.
Personally, I wouldn't say "Cartoony Game" and would use the term "Stylized Game" mainly because I think games like No More Heroes (Killer 7) and Timesplitters are not supposed to be realistic but they're not cartoonie either; they're created in a non-photorealistic fashion and do not (necessarily) benefit as much from greater graphical performance as much as they benefit from greater artistic direction.
