I never said better graphics alone make better games.
I'm going by industry reviews of games per console in saying that "decent games" and "quality games" are lacking for the Wii.
No good graphics don't always equal good games. I still play my old Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 because of something called "replay value" in some of the games for those systems. Those two systems are way behind the current curve of game graphics. My point is that the motion controls that the Wii is most famous for only carry it so far because of its inherent limitations. The percentage of poorly rated games per console is heavily tilted towards the Wii as well. Even my non "gamer" friends who own the system were all excited and giddy about it for starters, [stereotypical high-pitched girl voice]OMG Wii tennis is soo fun!, then after a few months it just sits or is put away and forgotten about. All in all it's just not worth the $ when you look at other options. It's not entirely about the graphics since the long term playing experience is what matters most, and the Wii lacks there as well.
From a list of the top selling games per platform and their MetaCritic.com scores in an effort to find out which console has the best quality games:
"The results are as follows
Wii - Average 75.55%
PS3 - Average 81.44%
Xbox 360 - Average 87.375%
But that is only the rating of the top 10 sellers which really is not a fair rating. What really is required is a comparison over the consoles entire catalogue.
Wii:
+80% = 6 titles to choose from
+90% = 2 titles to choose from
PS3
+80% = 18 titles to choose from
+90% = 1 title to choose from
X360
+80% = 58 titles to choose from
+90% = 7 titles to choose from"
But hey if you find it fun go for it and
be careful not to accidentally chuck your controller into the tv. Its your money, you can waste it however you want
