Yes, the graphics quality is lower than that of the Xbox 360, Playstation 2 and 3. But the game play possibilities with the Wii are beyond anything we can expect from either Microsoft or Sony.

The motion sensing controllers allow an immersive game play experience that is only beginning to be tapped by the video game industry.

Already a raft of Sports games are taking advantage of these possibilities and combat oriented games are quickly following suit. The future of game play on the Wii now awaits some truly innovative controller additions. Just imagine becoming a Jedi Knight complete with light saber... oh, wait, that is already on the way.

I am less concerned about graphic quality on the Wii than I am interested in how they will improve the motion sensing capabilities of the console. Truly immersive game environments will require more than just a controller in each hand. Imagine games that require a motion sensed headband and leg bands to complement the existing hand controllers.

Truly the most innovative gaming system since Pong.
