Bro just like wat a few of us been saying, Wii is on a different market! And in that market graphic and sounding doesnt even matter! This is the "BLUE SEA" of Console market.
Just think will a 7-10 years old kid feels any different of a really 3D look game tat come with wonderful graphic and sound! Kids dun mind, they want the thing to be fun onli! And have a look at those cartoon kids watch this days, damn Spounge Bob look so ugly and those drawing!!! But they like it, but i dun think they will like the FF7AC.
Same goes to the parents, they also dun give much damn to super duper coolsome graphic! They are too busy to waste their time on games that need a lot a lot of time to go through. So come the wii where games are keep light and easy, enjoyable after a long day of work and stress!
So we should not compare this console with the others.
The future of "RED SEA" console matches are onli between 360 and PS3! Who ever wins the other will have their head smash! The market is too small for this 2, but ppl can still have a small wii in the living room even u got a PS3 or Xbox360 in ur room!
And by the way Wii games arent cheap, Zelda is already the best action RPG in the market! The downside is it lack voice acting!
Personally, I think they share the same market...those who will buy a ps3/360 will most probably buy a Wii also..and the same can be said otherwise. Which means the customers are the same. So it's same market.
But, I wouldn't call the Wii as a competitor to the PS3/360. in fact, Nintendo never said that 360/PS3 as their competition and vice versa.
So, That is why I said, Will exist to complement the Industry. They are making the pie much bigger instead of stealing the slices from each other like 360 and PS3.
I agree with you in not comparing between Wii and the other two.
But I personally think that a two console industry is just nice and not too small. so we won't have monopoly..furthermore...we can also benefit as one is trying so hard to best the other...which in turn will benefit us consumer. That's why I prefer any console war to be evenly won by the players.
As for your mentioning of casual games, I believe, that's where PS3 and 360 are going to also. they would have these small pick-and-play games to complement the traditional-long-winded-heavy-games. They have games like Geometry Wars, Super Stardust HD, calling-all-cars (to name the recently few) and etc.
So as you can see all three consoles know the importance of casual games. it is not just exclusive to Wii.
As for the cheap game for the wii...My apologies for a sweeping stament..What I meant was MOST if not all Wii games will be rather cheap to make as compared to a typical PS3/360 games as devs/publishers don't have to spend valuable resources creating a detailed games that a console such as 360/PS3 required. Costs like coding for a new next gen hardware, texture designing in HD, 5.1 and 7.1 sounds engineering and etc.
Take one example like GT5 for PS3, previously, they only require 1 hour of a person work hour to build a car for GT1. But, now, they required IINM 2-3 months of a team of people to build a car. The cost and time difference are substantial...
Not to mentioned if a game on PS3/360 don't have a top notch cinematics with well known voice actors and...motion actors...they will be crucified...so add that to the cost.
Game developers used to have only 10-20 people in their office...now a typical developer for PS3/360 is usually more than 50.
Since Wii is not really a next gen hardware...in terms of developing for it, it would not require resources as big as 360/PS3. That is what I meant as cheap...it doesn't mean that cheap as in game-cap-ayam-tak-bleh-pakai-punya or as in not worth playing kinda game.
Cheap as in the cost of developing for it. Of course there will still be big budget games like Zelda and etc...but mostly it will NOT cost them as much as a big budget game for PS3/360.
To sum it up, cheap game to make for the will will still be sold at 50-60 USD..example like Geometry Wars for the Wii....Just think of how much profits these people will make for each game...
But a big budget game like FFXIII, Halo 3, Forza 2...will still have to be sold at 50-60 (mostly $60 now) even though more resources have been used in building these game.
That is how I meant that Most Wii games + the casual games will funds the big budget games.
I think I've written too much already....

no point debating it now la. jus let the flow go.. i wish i had a xbox360 and wii too. i mean the games there are cool too. but i am not rich ler. so i hv to do wats best..
the reason sony managed to lower the price for 80gb is cause thy removed the ps2 processor and allow the cell to emulate it. hence cheaper..
Now I personally think that discussing/debating about a situation in a civilised manner should be encourage so we can be a more informed consumer and/or gamer.
Although, the topic to be discussed plays an important part too....and ...as you said "no point debating" if it's regarding certain topics..that is we debate till lembu balik pun still tak guna...
