First off, graphics aren’t what solely make the game, it’s the gameplay. Any gamer knows that. Games were made to PLAY, not to look at with googly eyes and be amazed at how pretty it looks. If graphics were all that were important, might as well watch a computer animated movie.

I agree that Wii should indeed step it up a notch with the graphics, but it is not a factor that will hold them down in the future. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a wii lover or anything, I just find that your argument is poor.

If Nintendo started pouring out the same kind of games that the ps3 and the xbox 360 gave, then what kind of ingenuity would it have? There’s a reason they’re aiming at different audiences. The ps3 and the xbox 360 are aimed towards more mature audiences, thus the presence of games such as Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, and whatnot. Nintendo lessens the competition by aiming at different audiences. Seriously, if all three systems were to promote a single game, the person obviously won’t buy it for all 3 systems right? For example, one might buy the game for the ps3 cause of the graphics, and then the other two systems are stuck with games that don’t sell cause everyone will want to buy it for that system. In that sense, the wii saves itself from such competition by providing different type of games.

I’m with you that I would love to see more mature games on the Wii. However, you forget that Nintendo is primarily a family-oriented system. They may have games out there at the moment like Resident Evil 4 and Scarface, but let’s face it, they have always and will continue to provide games for the kids and whatnot.

Also, think about the future. You think we’re going to continue using controllers for the rest of our lives? The Wii is taking the first step in providing this interactive remote concept, making gaming even more virtual. Sure, at the moment there aren’t that many great games, but in the future I bet many consoles will be copying or adding to the concept of the wii. I am a playstation fan at most, but I will admit this. The Wii is the most original out of all the new consoles. The ps3 and the xbox 360, what did they do? they just turned themselves into computers basically. Improved graphics, blue-ray, plays dvds, online capability. Seriously, they’re just computers now. But the Wii, it went outside of the box.

You said that interactiveness can only go so far. I think that improving graphics can only go so far. How far will you go? Until you’re controlling real people? Where’s the fun in that? I dunno, perhaps it’s just a matter of opinion. As much as I love sony and all that, so far, the wii looks like it’ll lead the future.
