Why does the PS3 suck so much...

It's funny that many Sony fanboys yell that the PS3 is "teh HD roxxorz" and the Wii sucks because it's low-res, while there are many PS3 games that run in similar resolutions as the Wii.

It makes me chuckle.

I would like to see this PS3 game that runs at Wii resolution...

 

My Wii runs in resolution 852x576 (PAL). About all first and second party games run at this res, as well as most third party games. That's almost at the same resolution as the following games from the OP:

Call of Duty 4
Conan (demo)
Jericho (demo)
MX vs ATV (demo)
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
WWE 08

In fact, WWE 08 even runs at a lower resolution than most Wii games...

Except that the same principle used by the PS3 and XBox360 (and PS1/2 and GC and XBox) apply to the Wii.  PS1/PS2 games hardly ever rendered at 640x480, the NTSC resolution.  Almost every game is rendered at a lower resolution, then upscaled.  Most Wii games are rendered at under 640x480.  It's widescreen is anamorphic, like DVDs.  From the same forum (Beyond3D), SMG and MP3 both get rendered at about 640x448 or something around that.
