I'm going to have to throw a wrench into this debate.

Anyone else familiar with the image capture system for the GC/Wii and Xbox?

The built in capture in the dev kits and debug kits for each are very different. The Xbox captures MS's proprietary image format - .bmp

The GC/Wii capture images in a compressed jpeg format.

Anyone familiar with these two image formats know that .bmp's retain a higher level of source data and image quality than .jpg's do.

When a publication publishes screen shots form either content holder, the image quality will naturally favor the Xbox simply because of the image capture system utilized by their respective consoles.

I would hope that good review sources use decent capture hardware to make screenshots instead of these debug/dev kits.
