As you know, everything you say there is obviously entirely subjective. No one would say graphics make a game but at the same time no one would say they make no difference. Your opinion on looks is an opinion mate. For the record I personally think the PS3 and 360 both look a lot better than the Wii. At least you can tell they are consoles - the Wii just looks like a shiny CD/DVD player. You mention gameplay as an advantage for the Wii - again that is an opinion as I personally don't find the motion sensing aspect of the Wii that good or innovative. While it is more advanced, I was using it about six years ago with Motorcross Madness and Microsoft's Freestyle Pro and after the novelty wore off I played it using a normal controller and found it more enjoyable. However, like you, this is all my opinion.
