  The graphical quality difference of games in the Nintendo consoles and
the others is quite large, but this might also be something which that
market doesn't care too much about. They want to play fun games, not games
which look awesome but which are often quite hard.

  For example, Wii graphics look like this:

while xbox 360 graphics look like this:

  DS graphics look like this:
