I was looking for some sort of comparison screen shots ...

Sonic and Mario look pretty darn close.
The GameCube, PS2, and Xbox all had 1 common factor ... the TV. Back in 2001 when all systems appeared, you had 1 type of TV.
With progressive scan resolutions getting all sorts of buzz, it's impossible for a machine that maxes out at 480 to compete with the 720 and 1080 big boys.
If you were to take Madden 08 and go side by side, there's no way the Wii can hold it's own.
Now, Mario on a Wii will look the best, by default. This is why there's barely any 3rd party support for a Nintendo console. The only thing that sells are the franchise names.
Hopefully the strong hardware sales will bring some back. (Why develop for a PS3 system that has 1/8th of the installation base of a Wii?)
