I'm saying "better" exlcusively in terms of the competitive marketplace. What would be "rediculous" is affirming with "god awful clarity" any quality argument one way or the other, which hinges chiefly on subjective opinion. The public at large chooses Wii games, that makes them better in terms of the market. This isn't exactly hard to grasp.
Your car analogy is irrelevant and offtopic because you're comparing models with a $100,000+ gap in pricepoints to consoles that come within $100 of each other (and up until last fall Wii was actually $50 more than the lowest priced HD console). This is why car analogies fundamentally break down, not to mention cars are generally considered a necessary expense while games are purely entertainment.
And I think you've misunderstood me, I said Uncharted 2 was more innovative than Wii Play. Hence, using your own definition, it is also more "traditional".
Also, does Sony make a games oriented handheld? Does Nintendo? Does Apple? lol.

You are saying better only in relation to sales. I don't have to say how fundamentally flawed that is when trying to logically analyse the actual worth of a game.
So you are saying wii games have the same budget as say something like MW2? I'm pretty sure the budget gap there is in the millions, no?
Uncharted 2 is more traditional? In the way that a game like it has never been seen before.....Uhuh, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Does Sony make a hand held gaming orientated device? Yes.
Nintendo? Yes.
Apple. NO it makes a F**KING PHONE AND MUSIC PLAYER. Those are not gaming orientated unlike the PSP or DS which are gaming first, anything else second. The iPHONE is guess what? A phone. The iPod is made for music, not for gaming. The iPad is a tablet PC not a tablet gaming orientated machine. There is no logic at all in Nintendo seeing Apple as a rival.

Sales are an objective measure. How else would one measure the objective "worth of a game"?
I said pricepoint gap, not budget gap. Wii games cost $10 less than PS360 games. A Wii costs the same price as a 360, $100 less than a PS3. A Micra costs $135,000+ less than a Bentley (for the cheapest model, it can be upwards of $400,000 in difference if you're comparing midline). You seem to enjoy using the term "rediculous" (ie: ridiculous I'm guessing), I'd say nowhere in this thread is that a more appropriate description than this reaching and illogical analogy you keep pushing.
Reread what I wrote. Slowly. I said Wii Play is more traditional. Christ.
edit: "It" refers to Wii Play. Sorry I should have made that clearer
Also...
