Wii: Super Mario Galaxy series, Skyward Sword, Donkey Kong Country
Ps3: The Last of Us, Final Fantasy 13(at the time of launch)

Skyward Sword pushed the Wii hardware the furthest? Really? 

I'd say there's plenty of games that pushed it harder.

Graphicaly, their is few things on the Wii that is more beautifull than flying above the clouds in that game.

From an artistic point of view I can see that, but didn't the OP say he meant pushing hardware?

Many games pushed Wii more than Skyward Sword technologically; the Galaxy games as you mentioned, Metroid Prime 3 and Other M, Conduit 1 & 2, Jett Rocket, COD MW3, Epic Mickey,Sonic Colours...
