the very fact that you're asking suggests that you already have an opinion. I will not bother.

"Wii graphics" can be, but most of the time we're just seeing "PS2 graphics" instead. Damn ports.

As of right now, not really.  But it should be able to get past Xbox level graphics...

Yes, potentially. There are games out right now that look at least high-Xbox level in terms of graphics, but nothing that blows it away yet. However, it's coming. For example, in a January preview of Metroid Prime 3, GamePro commented that the graphics were dramatically better than Halo 2. Then again, if you're getting a Wii, it shouldn't be for the graphics...

So far, it has yet to be seen but under the hood, the Wii has a lot more power then what people suggest. Here are a few titles which display some of its power: Other then that, the games pretty much look PS2-quality.

Technically Wii is superior to Xbox 1, but it lacks built in shaders and a hard drive.

The way MP used art and atmosphere was better, but Halo 2 was more technically impressive.

One of these days I'm gonna make a big Wii hardware thread, since most people seem to have no clue as to whats going on under the hood.  I wonder if Casey would give me a sticky.

The above pics are hardly great.  There just "good" and not even Xbox good.  I have played several games on Xbox that looked better than the top 2 games (mario, metriod prime 3) but SSBB I'm not sure about.  If all we're talking about is graphics then the Wii doesn't cut it, and I don't think it ever will.  As time goes by, the PS3/X360 will come closer and closer to photorealism (but so far away LOL) and the Wii will still be compared to Xbox/PSP I'm afraid. 

Gameplay is a different matter altogether, but I still don't recommend it yet.  Needs more games that Nintendo ever so hyped for it's 'innovation'.  All I see and hear about is mario, zelda, metriod, ssbb, paper crap, kiddy mini games that can potiential harm gaming, and some stupid vote channel.  Where is the maturity section, excellent usage of Wiimote, NEW killerapps that aren't plagued with bugs worse then a fouled-up win98 pc with a 2-bit whore on the side.

No games that are released at the moment look better than xbox one, except for pokemon battle revolution, (but that is in japan only and is on par with a very good looking xbox1 game)

Watch this and try to tell me that there was an Xbox game which looks better: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=13159&type=mov&pl=game I have played Conker, Riddik, Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, RE4, etc., and this looks far better.

Here's another place for Wii information (very technical):

http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=38689

As for shaders, the Wii doesn't have them built-in, but what it does have is a TEV unit. The TEV unit is a completely programmable unit for doing shading, textures, etc. It's pretty much left open to the developer how to program for it, and it can do some amazing things in the hands of talented peoples.

Yes. Think of the Wii hardware as a suped up Xbox without the bottle neck GPU structure that prevented it from reaching it's maximum in terms of power and graphics. So it should more easy to show Wii's graphic muscle if developers decided to put more effort into it like few did for the GC..

Eventually, yes they will look better.  As of now, the best looking Xbox games (chronicles of riddick, conker, ninja gaiden, etc) still look better than Wii games.

They will be better than Xbox1's by the middle/end of the Wii's life.  Right now, they're Cube graphics which is fine for me.  I'm more into the quality games that are coming out later.

Since the Wii can play RE4 and every other GC game that would be a rather stupid statement.
