Honest question. Same game. With the PS3 or Xbox 360 version you'll get cutting-edge graphics, probably some slightly better gameplay options because of the higher system power. Or would you rather have the same game with a toned down graphical presentation, slightly easier on the system specs, but innovative control system with the Wii-Mote?

I would trade the motion sensing in the Wii for 720p support alone. But in Nintendo's case why can't we have both. I think they'll be the first to launch next go round, and it will be on par with the other two.

I don't play games for the Wiimote and I don't play games for graphics. Hell I don't even have an HDTV....

I play good games. I don't care what control style or resolution they are in as long as they are good.

WiiMote...Every time I play games like NMH or Bomberman Land I understand why I feel in love with the controler. It just so much fun using the Wiimote in some games.

Both. I am already looking forward to next-generation since all of the systems will probably have great graphics and good motion controls.

both. I believe its kinda pointless to be bound by one thing in gaming. It's always good to try a variety of things. Sometimes i get bored of ps3, then i go to wii and vice versa. If i stuck to only one type, I would be outside most of the time.

I fail to see how you could have the exact same game on the Wii or a PS3/360? If it was the exact same game, then either the PS3/360 version would have crappy graphics, which makes the HD option pointless, or the Wii version wouldn't properly use the Wiimote, which make that pointless. So either way somebody gets scewed.

I have both, but the OMGHDEYECANDY effect wore off on me FAST. I'd rather play MP3 than COD4, and I hate fps. the wiimote changes the game a lot imo.

If given the choice, I'd say graphics. The remote gimmick wore off fast for me.

wii mote cannot be used better than a dual analog or even a m/k for the vast majority of games/genres

fighters= better on dual analog due to amounts of buttons needed

rpg's= doesn't really matter- most rpg's only use about 4 buttons (ok cancel start camera)

shooters= can go either way, but no one can deny for accuracy and sheer PWNAGE the m/k is THE way to go for Fps's and shooters in general.

action/adventure(examples, DMC, GOW, NG)- these games typically use a lot of buttons, which the wiimote doesn't have. and even if you say it does have as many buttons, most of the buttons on the wiimote are extremely hard to press, especially when you're doing combos in games like these.

stealth- this could go either way, but again, a stealth game such as MGS or Spilnter cell would tend to work better on a D-A

puzzle- this could go either way, i can see a game like portal controlling excellently on the wiimote, while a game like dr. mario not so much.

strategy/RTS- m/k is essential to these games

racing-racing controllers are available for both other consoles

sports- no idea not big on sports games

platformers- depends, SMG works beautifully, but then again so does R&C and banjo.

i can see the wiimote working well with every type of game if implemented correctly, but the chances of it being BETTER than a DA or m/k are slim to none in most genres.

and this factor, combined with superior online, better features, and better graphics, and HD, is what puts a conventinal conrolled console or a pc over the wii.

Yeah, I like my Wii, but so far it hasn't justified my purchase the way the 360 has (the wiimote is still under-utilized). Just thinking about how Zelda or Metroid Prime would look on the 360 makes me weep for the potential of an HD Nintendo console.
