Newsflash: Wii already looks dated!

I can't understand this thing about Within some years now xbox360 and PS3 titles will look so much better so Wii will look dated. I mean isn't Gears miles a head of any Wii game already now?

robjoh wins the award for most intelligent post in this thread.

Consumers clearly don't seem to care that games for the Wii don't look as good as those on the 360/PS3 right now. For that matter, the HD consoles can't outsell the PS2 right now, or even come close to it (in America, anyway). And for good measure, consumers don't seem to care that DS games don't look as good as those on the PSP. But somehow, next year, that's all going to change and there will be a seismic shift in the market away from Wii/DS towards 360/PS3?!

I hope everyone realizes that this theory makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

 Not next year, over the coming years. Hand held is very different from console too, everyone is much more forgiving of hand held graphics by logic because it is a hand held. There won't be a seismic shift but there might be a slow shift it's not impossible. Also the hardcore crowd (except for the all 3 console adopters and Nintendo fans) are big buyers of software and they are going to stay away from the Wii this generation it is looking like more and more (unless things change).

The kind of people who buy Wii for the novelty (Casual non gamer types) are going to buy like 2-3 games a year or maybe 5 tops (holidays and b-days and such). But if there are such a huge amount of casual gamers that get interested in the Wii then that won't matter that is still an unknown in the long run if the innovation of the Wii will still attract non gamers in 2 years or whatnot.
