It is absurd when all that matters is games, otherwise the original Xbox was an upgrade of the PS2.

That's a very romantic way of seeing it, but if games really were all that mattered then why did people buy different consoles after SNES or PS1 or PS2 ? These consoles arguably had the best game line-ups ever and still people bought different consoles after that.

Because of many reasons, but when you buy a console you really don't know what'll happen with its line up: DS had a ugly 1st year, but then it turned out to be one of the best systems for its line up. While GC started with some great exclusives and then died in 3 years. Anyway I'm not denying X360 or PS3 are more powerful than the Wii, I'm denying that this means being an upgrade, because they don't offer the same experience of the Wii, they're just more powerful.
