The PS3 and 360 are not just about graphics.They are about the amount of things you can do on screen and in the background. The problem that the wii will start to face by end of this year and deeper into 08 is the amount of interactivity with everything around you. With the PS3 a developer can make a game with 100's of charictors on screen, with real world phyisics, world class AI, amazing animation, distructable enviornments, use motion control, and to add on to that it can have extreamly detailed graphics. IMO this is were the generation gap will really be felt in games. Also the wii's motion is really good at some things, but at other things it is overkill especially on an under powered system. This is were I believe Sony got the controller better, because it gives you just the right amount of motion controll for what we are able to acheive right now. Plus the 360 and PS3 also bring more to the table with their communities. Home and live will be 50M strong by the end of this gen and right now wii has none.
If people were willing to pay $600 for improved Graphics, AI, Physics and Online Communities than PC gaming would be far greater than console gaming. The fact is that people buy consoles because they're simple to use, inexpensive and fun. Whether you like it or not, one of the main reasons the PS3 is struggling in North America and Japan is that the number of people who are willing to spend that much money on a console is really small; if sales don't pick up the console won't have the games when its price is reduced to sell any more systems.
