This thread is all mindless banter. The bottom line is that Nintendo chose to go the route of inexpensive, off the shelf hardware, and knew they wouldn't be competing graphically with the 360 and PS3. It's as simple as that. The Wii can't and won't be competing graphically, ever, with the other 2. I was highly interested in a Wii until I saw and played one first hand (Excite Truck) and was floored at how "average" the graphics were. I would have bought one in a heartbeat if they had even put 1/2 the graphical horsepower in the Wii that is in either of the current gen systems. I will probably still buy a wii but not until there are a few games the wife and kids want to play on it. Until then, I'm waiting for the 360 or PS3 to reach a 299 price point and that system will be my next gen. Until then, I'll continue to play my PS2 and 'Cube.
I hate trolls.
