I am having trouble following your logic.  The graphics of a DS game should be compared with other games on handheld platforms, the graphics of a current generation console game should be compared with other games available on current generation consoles, and pc games should be compared to other games offered on pcs.  

What makes it fair to consider a different game on the PS3/XBox 360 when you look at a Wii game, but it isn't fair to consider the same game on the PC when you look at a PS3/XBox 360 game? The only thing that justifies protecting the HD consoles from the PC is that the PC is more expensive and has a different control set-up ... Wait a minute, weren't the HD consoles (basically) twice the price of the Wii at launch and don't they have a different control method?

 

So I guess you support my statement that all reviews should include the phrase "for a Wii game."  Maybe reviewers should grade the Wii graphics on a PS2/original Xbox scale.  

Maybe we should include PC sales in the console gaming charts?  

 

Edit:

Let's not forget the fact that 99% of all of the Conduit hype threads referenced it's graphics.  Some people went so far as to say the Conduit looked like a 360 game.  I am all for changing the standard for the Wii.  We will just know that a graphical 10 on the Wii would be below average on the 360.
