I'm not sure what to say. I am most impressed with the Wii, as a new type of controller is ACTUALLY impressing people. Not only that, but the concept is so odd, and yet so cool. :O The PS3 and X-Box 360 are very powerful systems, though. They're just following the trend. Make a more powerful system to impress people. In a way, however, Nintendo is following their trend. With each new console they make, there's always something different about the controller. With the NES, it was the D-Pad and Buttons set-up. With the SNES, there were 2 more face buttons and shoulder buttons. With the N64, an Analog Stick was used seriously. With the GC, ... the Shoulder Buttons did different things depending on how hard you pressed them. That last one was stupid. :O This time, they are just doing the same thing. Doing something different. The lack of graphical capabilities was probably just to keep the price lower. Sony had said before that they knew their console was going to be expensive and that they expected their fans to work for it. So, Nintendo figured that Graphics weren't neccessary. Or perhaps they merely said that to glorify the fact that the console is going to be cheaper. Either way, this is the same thing as before. Nintendo is doing something different, and other companies will follow if it's succesful.
