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?  

Why on earth would you need to put "For a Wii game" in a review? Do we need to put "For a HD console game" next to any comments on controls in those games?

People who are reading the review know its a Wii game so they are fully aware of its limitations, and all statements will already be understood in the context that it is a Wii game.
