But Swygi don't you think graphics would affect immersion especialy for some who frequently plays both the Wii and PS3/360 , after playing (an example) Call Of Duty 4 on the 360 for half an hour , don't you think the degrade in visual quality will affect the level of immersion once they start playing Metroid Prime ( for example). Noticing all the jagged edges , lower resolution textures etc etc .

I agree, that does happen, but it last all of 5 - 10 minutes for me to readjust to the differences. Much like how I can go from watching this anime:

 they're different art styles, sure. One might even be worlds ahead of the other, but I don't have some odd reaction to switching back and forth between these art styles.

On the other hand, the physical activity of being able ot point wher eyou want to shoot at in Metroid Prime 3 or Twilight Princess, these controls made it very difficult to go back to games like turok and Majora's Mask/wind Waker or even Matroid Prime 2 where I had to use dual joystick or just any joystick to be able to aim. This would certainly affect CoD just as badly, and that issue would last through the entire game.
