*sigh* The games on the PS3 are in no way worse when they are on SDTV. The resolution doesn't enable you to see as much on the screen and as many details, but you are making it sound like the Wii games look better just because they can't be higher resolution. The PS3, 360, and PC games at the same resolution as the Wii still look better. The graphics don't go away. PS: You didn't really show me anything by dismissing the whole sports genre because it's only for "casuals" then you argue the Wii will dominate the world with its casual games. That just doesn't make sense. And yes, Madden and every other sports game will look better on the PS3 even if it's on SDTV. |

I never once said Wii games look better than the PS3, 360 and the PC games at the same resolution. Of course the other platforms look better in 480p than Wii games and they look better than Wii games on an SDTV too. I said that Wii games look better on an SDTV than they do on an HDTV. I got component cables for my Wii for $30, I plugged it into my HDTV and Zelda looked worse. Too many pixels around, I ought to have known considering I've played PC games at about that resolution. SDTVs have scanlines, and that looks better than 480p, to me anyway. I'm sure some people would disagree.

When the hell did I even say the Wii will dominate the world with casual games? I believe quite the opposite, I think the casual games will give the Wii a boost and eventually they will get more traditional games and much like the PS2 that will ensure their domination of the market. Most of the games I listed are not casual games. As for the sports genre, please, read some boards. Sports games are generally hated by people who post on gaming boards, that's because people who post on boards are generally hardcore gamers. I know a ton of people who play sports games and most of them only own a few other games, often racing games since anyone can pick up a racing game easily. Also, most of them have never even heard of Final Fantasy. Ever notice that Madden NFL never makes any of the greatest games of all time lists despite the fact that it's one of the most popular franchises in America? Very few hardcore gamers would touch Madden NFL. Also, whenever I see lists of games that people own on message boards or lists of favorite games I don't see many people posting sports games. Sports games are the most popular genre of games there is, but it's because of casual gamers, not the types of people who post on message boards.
I think this topic somes up the opinion of real gamers on sports games nicely: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=930752&topic=36643723
