Ok, I going to take this piece by piece and I hope I don't miss anything....... Graphics-To some people there graphics are already outdated, what most of those people fail to realize is that all of the games on the Wii are pretty much ports. Now one game that is not a port is Sonic, the graphics on Sonic are better than anything else on the Wii right now manily because that game is one of the few that built from the ground up for the Wii. In compairason to the 360 and PS3 of course it would look outdated but it's not really. What most people want to say is "This is the Age of HD" when only 17% of Americans have a HDTV but 98% of Americans have TV's so that means that 81% of people still have SDTV's. (And HD graphics don't look as good on SDTV's as they do HDTV's while SD graphics looks better on SDTV's than they do on HDTV's.) Therefore, this is not the age of HD not yet anyway who knows what it will be in a few those numbers could reverse but as of right now they are what they are. Links below HDTV: http://www.avrev.com/news/0107/11.hdtv_research.shtml TV Total: From the Federal Communications Commission: - 98.2% of Americans own a TV set “ Second, we note that not all of the new media in a given market are available to all consumers in the market to the same extent as broadcast services and newspapers. Broadcast radio and TV are available free of charge to anyone who makes an investment in receiving equipment, and much of the public have such equipment; for example, 98.2% of Americans own a TV set. “ Federal Communications Commission http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Mass_Media/Orders/2000/fcc00191.txt Gameplay: This is mostly about opion while someone may love madden to death other may only like God of War or Zelda ot's personal prefence, but Nintendo went for something else here by making it easy for people to play games while making the system cheap, thus tapping the elderly market, how many stories have you seen about people playing the Wii in Old Folks Homes. Let me sum this up, Can the Wii do what 360/PS3 can graphically? NO! Can the 360/PS3 do what the Wii can do with it's gameplay? NO! Some people perfer gameplay over graphics don't bite there head off of call them Nintendo slaves. Some people like graphics over gameplay don't call them graphic whores it's just personal prefence. Each system did what they though would be a next-gen console did they all get it right or did they all get it wrong who knows, every system brings different things to the table. But remember games never become classic just because they look good. When we hit photo-realism, all you can improve on is gameplay, Nintendo just took the step early, were they wrong..............Not according to sales numbers.
