I'll just say that the gap between the Wii and PS2 is not the same as the gap between the Wii and the PS3/XBox360.

Games on the Wii look much better than the games on the PS2. But games on the PS3/XBox360 look much better than the games on the Wii. I'll just say for arguments sake that the Wii graphic fidelity:PS2 graphic fidelity is equal to the PS3/XBox360 graphic fidelity:Wii graphic fidelity.

But the PS3 and XBox360 render at a much higher resolution than the Wii. Games like MP3 and SMG render at about ~640x440. Might be ~640x454. I can't recall the exact number off the top of my head and I don't want to dig around Beyond3D for the exact numbers. Gears of War and Uncharted, arguably the 2 best looking games for the XBox360 and PS3 respectively both render at 1280x720. That's more than 3 times the resolution.

The PS3 and XBox360 far outclass the Wii in terms of pure power. The gap is bigger than the gap between the Wii and PS2. The Wii is capable of some really nice graphics. But hardly "halfway" between the PS2 and PS3/XBox360. Then if you get into stuff like physics/AI/sound/level sizes, the difference becomes even more pronounced.

 The problem with this post is that you are assuming all three have hit their total graphical performance. None have as far as I know. Also the bolded isn't that 2 times.
