Also IMO 480p(Enhanced Definition TV)>1080i HDTV because Progressive Scan is more stable better FPS and clearer  than interlacing and high res:

So to me it matters how much detail you use at the resolution and the techniques used to minimize artifacts more than just raw pixels.

 

1080p > 720p > 480p

1080i is still a higher resolution than 480p, 1080i output mode is only used for old HD CRT tv's that don't support 720p, apart from that all games either run at 720p or are upscaled to 1080p for modern HDtv (LCD/Plasma/LED)

Majority of games on the HD twins are 720p anyways.

for those that cite games like COD:MW2 being 1024x600, just remember that is the internal render resolution, not the output resolution of the console to the TV, that internal resolution gets upscaled to 720p which is what the console outputs to the tv, so for all intents and purposes it's 720p because that's what comes out of the console AV port.

In regards to the game it's self there are graphical compromise's so that gameplay is silky smooth at 60FPS which also means responsive controls, traits that wii users love to tout when graphics/gameplay topics tend to rise, so anyone that complains about COD:MW2 graphics and yet tout the gameplay over graphics motto for wii are just hypocrites in general.
