I try to stay away from arguements that aren't within my field - but I feel this one is up my ally in a small way. Your post about the difference is all over the place, so I'm going to nail it down as you want to know what the visual difference is to the average joe.
But then you extend the question into an arguement by saying, what do we expect.
First let's answer the question:
Art direction, the Wii can do realistic as well as cartoony and anything else, but can it do them well, the answer given those specs is yes, can it do it at 60fps? the answer again is yes. The thing is the Art direction for the Wii games haven't been exposed as well as they could have.
For the last 15 years developers have been pushing the envelope to reach graphical edge, they have done a fine job at it, the reason you don't see that much of a difference is mainly because when they do give the next push things are going to look real to life, but also your acustomed to the 360 level graphics, should you play a game on the Xbox again in a few years you'll see that they appear dated, that has been the case time in and time out. (The real issue is, can an entire game be done with such graphical push and art style and who could afford that risk.)
Wii owners of that graphic requirement are the same guys who buy SMG, Brawl, Bwii, NMH, RE4 and so on. We expect from 3rd party devs' the same quality with a different art style (or the same) with a great experience (controls, story, and whatever else) to boot.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
