I have never seen any tearing on either the 360 or the Wii. However I heard the RE5 demo on the 360 has tearing issues when running at 1080p (I run at 720p). I don't know if they fixed that in the final version.

What resolution are you using?

 

Then you probably just don't notice it.  But it does exist in many console games and I really hope no one would try to dispute that fact.

Oh, and since no one seems to have really respond to the OP, there's nothing you can do about it, it's just something you have to live with.  It's not your hardware.  It's not like a PC where you can try forcing v-sync with drivers.  Either the game has it enabled or the game doesn't.  And it's a shame that a lot of games don't.

I can easily spot instances of screen tearing in PC games when I don't enable v-sync, so I doubt I'm missing it on console games.

I have seen plenty of framerate drops on the 360, but no screen tearing.

 

Screen tearing occurring near the top of the screen (vsync missed only by a little bit) goes usually unnoticed. Plus TV image retention masks it a little when compared to PC monitors. Are you perchance playing your consoles on a CRT?

 

Indeed I am playing on a CRT (a HD 32'' CRT from Philips).

To add to my original reply, I'm not saying tearing doesn't exist on the 360... just that I haven't seen it.
