The 360 actually already has a lead on the others as far as game support. The plus with the 360 is total control of all media from a central location.
Yeah it launched early but then they had the beta model on the shelves for 3 years so that everyone else would show them what to make, all MS had to do was implement it
PS3 however still has yet to prove itself as a worthy piece of equipment that is worth $600-800 a toss, a price that many see as outrageous. Add to that the issues it has had (though nothing truly major yet) makes it's appeal to the market even less and of course the BluRay which many are holding off on since HDDVD has already fashioned a hold on the market.
Wii...now this is a cool system with a truly unique approach to gaming. The downfall as you have mentioned is the graphics are lacking. The plus is that if the games are truly fun to play then graphics really don't matter all that much some of the funnest games I have played had shitty graphics. The problem though is that is not a consumers way of thinking and it will hurt them at some point.
The other issue they have to contend with is that Nintendo has hurt theselves with their past 2 units (64 and GC) by letting them drop off in game support after only a relativley short period of time. Many consumers will sit back and wait for a year to see where the game support goes with this one as well. A few good launch titles will not hold a system alive for very long.
I dunno I want a Wii, I have a 360 and rarely ever play games on my comp. so I guess in the end it is a question of which console plays the type of games you and your family like to play.
