basketball, golf (easily better for the wii, go ahead and check the reviews)boxing games especially. they are all better for the wii, and i know thats an opinion, but what im basing it on is fact. the fact is on gamespot and any other point based rating reviews, sports games for the wii have been higher, ussually sinificantly.
you mention mario sports games, well, those are secondary to EA. name one exclusive sports franchise for the box that isnt complete jank? im not trying to be harsh here, im just making my point, and my point is if you want real hardcore sports games, you need the wii. and dont even argue graphics, cause EA makes em all the same for the systems, seriously, you can NOT tell the difference i dont care what TV you have. wii is the sports system now, and the xbox never was i dont think. it just has alot of jank sports games that no one gets.
I don't mean to rain on your parade. But Golf (Tiger Woods) and Madden 07 were the only two games I found on the Wii in categories you mentioned.
Wii has no official basketball (NBA Live, and NBA2k) releases to compare to the other systems. Tiger Woods was rated higher on the 360 than on Wii. By 0.7 points (more than the 0.5 point difference in Madden).
Boxing? What game is that? Play boxing? I'm sorry FNR3 is the standard. Anyone who has ever played any boxing game knows that. Is that out on Wii, cause I don't see it? I would have no doubt it would be fun. But it would not look nearly as good as the other 2 versions by a long shot.
You can't tell the difference? If they ported FNR3 to the Wii I'm almost certain you could tell a big difference.
"Usually significantly higher" where are you pulling this from? There are only a handful (2 that I could find) of sports games available on all 3 systems.
In terms of physics you are gonna see a difference in how far they can take the code from one system to the next. That's not just graphics, but that takes into account things like trajectories, realistic movement, AI. The added thing on the other 2 consoles will be more available online content to enhance game replay factor, which Wii will be limited on. I think some people forget that certain things (besides motion control) add to realism of games, and realistic physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, static and dynamic forces, etc, etc, are all becoming more real. That's real engineering there, and you have to have big computers to do massive iterative calculations.
