I don't care about that, the question was whether they can be compared. Would anyone in their right mind try to compare a CRT tv that came out at the same time as a Plasma tv?

Umm ... They did it for a decade.

HD-CRT TVs were compared directly to their plasma TV counterparts, and reviewers generally pointed out that these CRT TVs were higher quality and less expensive than their plasma TV counterparts; this is (of course) before all the major TV manufacturers (virtually) abandoned CRT TVs

Ugh... whatever. You know exactly what I'm talking about, stop picking at strings. Wii is last-gen technology with a pointer. Comparing last-gen technology with current-gen technology is a pointless exercise and if either HD console embraced casual gaming, it has the potential to be better than the Wii. Any sales figure quoting is redundant in this argument.
