Nintendo doesn't even "go there" when it comes to trying to make games with monster graphics, and they don't need to. Their games stand up on their own without the best graphics.

Agreed.

And this sums up my sentiments from a movie perspective as well, I'd rather watch a good movie in crappy definition rather than a crap movie in high definition.

With the Wii, sometimes I'd rather play a fun game on the Wii, than play something on the PS3 because some of the games are funner on the Wii than the PS3, on the other hand, I play both systems quite frequently.

To the OP, if the kids want a Wii, and you're willing to get it for them, who cares what it looks like, so long as the munchkins are having fun right?
