I think that in an attempt to set themselves apart from the cartoony feel of Miis, Microsoft took most of the fun out of Avatars. They all look... boring. They also rarely actually look like the actual person. Still a cool idea and all, just... visually uninspired.

Agreed.  If Mii's could change clothes, they'd piss all over Avatars.  One thing that Avatars do have over Miis -they go to sleep (I'm not talking about those 20 second naps that Miis take either!).  If I turn on my Wii at 3:40am, all 100 Miis are wide awake looking at me!!  Freaks me out!

Both companies need to use their thing-a-ma-jiggers more, though.  My Miis should be going out into the world on adventures, bringing me back Wii-points and friend requests like little diplomats.  My Avatar should be dancing to custom soundtracks and stalking me through various games (hidden in Gears of War 2 or something).  It'd be cool!
