I am not bragging when I say this...but I own a 58 inch plasma and Wii gets played through component cables.

I see how someone with a smaller CRT TV may think Wii can compete with the ps360 but when everything is maxed out on a big screen like that...one can see Wii has more in common with gamecube/xbox then ps360.

As a matter of fact, to me Ninja gaiden on the xbox still looks better than any wii game I've ever seen including nintendos lineup. And original xbox did 720p in a few games (mortal kombat armageddon...few others)...wii has yet to do that. So I amm not sure programmers are to blame 100% here...
Those games also probably loss out on other things to compensate for the higher resolution. A 15 year old pc could play ES:Daggerfall at 720p. That doesn't mean it will look nice. You also said ninja gaiden looks better when upscaled in the other thread. I said it looks about equivalent to the best wii graphics. The wii only had a year anyway. I'm pretty sure the graphics will improve alot especially since nobody really pushed the wii to it's limits yet.

 


I agree that it will only get better for the wii. However, related to this topic...Wii is not really handing out its programmers an easy ride to visual bliss. They will have to squeeze and squeeze some more...so they shouldnt be fully blamed for lack of visual polish...nintendo did decide to make a less powerful console after all :)


I'm not trying to compete with an Xbox 360 or a PS3. If I wanted either one I would buy it. And yes Nintendo did decide to make a less powerful console (graphically anyway but really now no Bluetooth, no wireless out of the box - how retro is that).

 And making that less powerful console was a very brilliant idea it turns out. That said, I still expect software that is written for and takes full advantage the Wii. Nintendo does and their sales show our appreciation. A few third party do and I commend them.

What I am fed up with is developers that give us a crappy shovelware port, don't make a real effort to really integrate  motion control and then when we refuse to buy the POS, go whining about how only Nintendo can sell on Nintendo.
