I am LOVING this thread. Always wanted to do this but forgot about it :D
This gen
Wii 7/10
Graphics- 5/10 completely average for a new gen console, but serviceable
1st party games- 10/10 Nintendo's best
3rd party games- 4/10 not too terrible, I think a little bit better than GC, but bad for how Wii is doing
controller- 4/10 honestly I don't like the Wii remote at all :(
success- 10/10 I'm very happy about this, it means Nintendo is guarantee to make a another console.
Price- 4/10 Quite overpriced for what you get Hardware wise IMO

DS 8/10
Graphics- 4.5/10 The 2-d is pretty good, its like like PS1 shiny or Saturn grainy level 2D graphics. 3-d is terrible. Sega Saturn was able to look better- just look at Sonic Jam! I would rather the polygon count be lower but the texture not be so unbearably bad...
1st party games- 8/10 very good at first, mario kart DS is awsome. first party is starting to get low though. Where is new Super Mario World? Where is Super Smash Brothers DS? Where is metroid dread? Where is the top down 3-d legend of zelda link to the past DS remake? Whats available is good though
3rd party games- 6/10 lots of 3rd party DS support, by 95% of it is crap or stuff that I am not interested in at this point... DS is really only good for trips now :(
Price-8/10 $130 is good for a portable system that is good for trips and has (had in the past) good multiplayer games like teris and mario kart.

PSP
Graphics- 9/10 I have thought for quite a while that a portable systems with GC graphics would be as good of graphics as I would need for portables. And PSP comes quite close... 2-d looks very good as well
1st party games- 8/10 DS has had way better support than PSP in the past, but Sony is finally stepping it up with releases like God of War and Patapon and wipeout pulse and Secret Agent Clank
3rd party support- 7/10 Much less support than DS, but quality>quantity. PSP games look much better, and the analog numb is so useful for portable gaming. Also there are lots of GOOD SRPGs for PSP.
Bonus- multimedia +4 This helps PSP, listening to music is a pain but PSP has quality speakers. Movies are high quality if you buy UMDs, and it is easy to download movies/TV shows to watch on the go.
-loading times are annoying
price- 10/10 for what you get PSP is a great value if you plan to use ALL of its features and find the games enjoyable enough to play at home as you wont have time to play all the PSP games that are good and many PSP games arn't very portable.
