I once left my Wii on with a disc spinning inside of it, the Wii started making weird noises like the disc was wobbling around inside of it out of control, also I could hear a faint voice saying that they were going to kill me. The disc was fine though, but I shant be doing that again.
Well, sort of, yea. Conduit looks like crap yet it gets hype...for its graphics. "
ODST doesn't even have graphics going for it and look at the hype that gets. "
To be fair Conduit has gotten most of its hype based on graphics alone. ODST gets hype because it's Halo. Neither deserve it, but sadly that's how much of capitalism works.
The Wiis selling point is gameplay (motion controlls) over graphics. Expecting the same graphics as the PS3/360 from the Wii would be like expecting an old Toyota to do 0-60mph equally quick as a Ferrari. They are just not the same thing...
" I don't get it, shouldn't we expect wii games to have as good graphics as 360 and ps3 games? Because honestly now, the wii costs more than the X360....What's the wii's pass? "
Joke, right? Because it costs more than the Xbox 360, it should have the same (or even, better) hardware and graphic capabilities?
I like my Wii, it gives me exactly what I expected from a Nintendo product. I'm not going to stipulate beyond that, it is what it is and it is what I wanted. The price is worth it, for me, as was an Xbox 360 at launch and a Playstation 3 at launch with no bundle. They are what they are, the consumer buys what they want to buy, and the world keeps turning.
Graphics really don't matter. I think Punch-Out looks better than Crysis. Actually, most great Wii games don't go for realism at all, while some 360 and PS3 games just look butt-ugly after a few years. What we should be expecting from the Wii is great games overall.

"I don't get the logic behind this. "It costs more, so it must be better." is extremely flawed logic."
Why shouldn't we expect the wii be as powerful as the other consoles if it costs more than the 360? There's no reason it should cost $250 and be so weak now. "
Last time I checked graphics don't mean shit. Ever wonder why VC is so popular? A magical thing called game play. People know what they are in for when they buy a Wii. If you are a graphics whore, do your due diligence and pick up a 360/PS3 instead.
I was expecting the Wii to have good graphics but then it ended up being only about as powerful as the original Xbox was which was lame I thought. Nintendo always fell short in the hardware department because of their own doing. Nintendo would make great consoles IMO if they would just do everything right insead of doing stupid things. The N64 was twice as powerful as the PSX but Nintendo opted to go for cartridges which were antiques as far as gaming went at the time. With the GameCube they had more power than the PS2 but again they did stupid crap and had the mini-DVDs to "prevent piracy" which halfed their disc space and most developers instead of going two discs just over compressed the data leading to crapy mutli-plats. Also they were one should button short with the controller which further crapped up multiplats.
With the Wii they didn't include a HDD or a competetent online service. And the focus on the Wii-mote made traditional games near impossible on the console relagating it to party games or on rail shooters. Nintendo could be on even ground with Sony/Microsoft but they choose not to be. Which is why I'm done with Nintendo, they don't care to compete, they'd rather make a last gen hardware console with a gimmick and target small children and soccer moms to drive sales while shunning the people who grew up your consoles. They continue to release rehash after rehash of the same 4 properties and don't risk anything new.
