Wii sports looks good IMO, the graphics are good in a cartoony sort of way.
Yes, I have seen it and it looks good. However, I think you underestimate just how good the original Xbox was. Just have a look at Far Cry Instincts - you would hardly believe it was a last gen game.

Strictly speaking, both Microsoft and Sony could make their respective consoles exactly like the Wii for not much cost as the Wii's 'innovation' is all in the remote - the console itself is little more than a small upgrade of the Gamecube. In fact, as people have already got the Wii remote working on a PC, there is absolutely no reason it wouldn't work on a 360 or even PS3 with the right drivers. Neither Microsoft or Sony are likely to do this but my point is they could.

Let's also not take away the vague possibility in the future of Wii emulation on both the 360 and PS3. I suspect both consoles are powerful enough to do it and, as mentioned above, with the right drivers the Wii remote would work equally well on both as the Wii I suspect. A long shot but stranger things have happened.
