With graphics tricks, you can make any game that's on the HD consoles work on the Wii.  You just need good artists.

It is very justifiable. The Wii has sold almost as much as both of those systems combined so yes, the Wii should be compared to them.

Well, my argument is one I used in another thread:"The wii competition did nothing to PS3, the wii is flying by itself, not taking any significant amount of sales of the PS3. If there wasn´t a wii, the PS3 would be barelly above what is now, so would the x360. This gen would be a failure compared to the last one.

Is actually it´s price allied with another console perceived as equal, with almost the same games, at almost half the price that´s pushing it to last place. Without a x360, the PS3 would be at almost 40 mln, but still behind the wii. A lot of today x360 owners wouldn´t get a PS3 because of the price. Actually is posiible that we would see a even stronger PS2 than it is today.

I actually believe that the wii created itself a separate market, appealing to a niche actually bigger than the number of traditional gamers, apart from Nintendo tradional gamers. It´s becoming a home utillity, almost as a dvd, I reckon it can reach similar popularity or even bigger. That´s why I don´t imagine wii buyers getting to stores thinking "wich one I get?". No, they go to the store Knowing that they want a wii. In most cases they don´t even know the competition. So don´t blame wii, blame sony and MS for Ps3 failure(relative)."

And that´s why Wii can be compared to the PS360 in terms of sales and games. It´s another market.

Actually, in terms of COD...  the answer is clearly Yes.  There is COD: WAW for the wii to prove it, and some who have reviewed multiple versions prefer the Wii due to the emersion of the controls.  This is a matter of opinion, but for some gun type controls outweigh graphics, and obviously for some graphics are more important.

They are clearly comparable, as if it wasn't for the wii I would probably own a PS3...  I am sure I am not the only one who picked Wii of the HD alternatives.  (Only reason I say probably, is there is a slight chance it would be a 360 instead).  I am happy with the Wii, and see little reason to get a 360 or PS3 now.

Just because the PS3 and 360 can not compete with the Wii is no reason not to compare them, unless you are saying they are better off compared to the PS2?

@aavidbacon:A niche market can not be a larger market...  You could say the Wii is the larger market, and that the PS3 and 360 are now in the smaller niche HD console market...

I can see how you would like there to be no comparison because on multi-platform releases, the PS360 does not always automatically win and if you compare last years games to versions the year before the difference is getting tighter as 1) 3rd party developers start to learn how to use the Wiis strengths and 2) As they start to write version for the Wii rather than just cramming over a sorry port and glueing on controls:

And because when I posted something like this in the past, I got back responses stating as though it were a fact that when a Wii score looks comparable or better that is because the reviewers don't judge them against each other or on the same scale.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT BS - PLEASE READ SOME QUOTATIONS FROM REVIEWS BELOW THAT PROVE THE CONTRARY. If you already knew that was crap, then the reading is oppotional but kinda fun.  

1Up (100) Shaun White's Wii excursion is better than its PS3/XB360 counterparts in almost every respect. Although they share Shaun White's visage and a snowboarding theme, not much else ties Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip to its PS3/Xbox 360 counterpart -- and that's a good thing. While the more powerful console version looks arguably better, obtuse controls and a misleading map make exploring it feel like an uphill trek. For now, the underpowered Wii provides the best Shaun White experience.

VideoGamer (80)  DuuuuuuuuuuuudeYeah!, Shaun White is soooooo awesome! It's, like, full of awesomeness! It's so awesome, it's super awesome! And so on and so forth. Yes, you're going to have to put up with snowboarding street speak throughout Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip on the Wii, but, somewhat surprisingly, it's actually worth it, because, while this is no SSX, it's good, no-nonsense fun. And it's better than Shaun White on 360 and PS3, by quite a margin, too. Tom gave that game a 6/10 in his review, criticising the overly awkward controls and laborious open world travelling. Road Trip doesn't suffer from any of that, making it the definitive version of the game.

GamePro (80) I'd recommend Shaun White's Wii adventure over his less impressive 360 and PS3 treks. It's a tighter, more polished experience that puts the focus on fun over the other entries' ambitious, but not always rewarding free-roaming gameplay. And the Wii-mote support, though not quite as gnarly as the balance board play, still offers a great way to rail-grind, flip, jump, and race your way down the digital slopes.

GameSpot (75) Shaun White Snowboarding on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 offered an unfocused and often boring rendition of the popular winter sport. Featuring sprawling mountains that looked pretty but provided little in the way of content, the game spent more time forcing you to hunt for coins hidden across the expansive environments than letting you take part in actual snowboarding competitions. Thankfully, the Wii version is a completely different experience. The wide-open mountains have been replaced with well-constructed paths down chilly slopes, the inane quests for secret coins have been scrapped, and the emphasis has been placed on pulling off wicked jumps and crazy tricks. More importantly, the controls have been revamped and now take full advantage of not only the motion controls of the Wii Remote, but the Wii Balance Board as well. Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip is a satisfying re-creation of snowboarding,

Game Zone (8.3) That is yet another dynamic that makes Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip for Wii the best version available.

I do believe that Grampy has addressed the OP and proved not only is it justifiable, but logical. On top of that, he shows that it has already happening. I don't think there's much else to add at this point.

1. "The Wii is too graphicly weak to compete."
2. "The Wii is for kiddys and grandmothers."
3. "The Wii is not competting with the PS360."
4 & 5. Just waitting for these stages.

4) Third Party games can't compete with Nintendo's?

#1 and #3 both stage 1,  Denial... 

#2 falls under stage 3...  Bargaining...

Stage 5 is when an HD console owner buys a Wii.

I don't know, some cat pictures would be really nice.
