The Wii U is leagues above Wii, it's Nintendo in HD for crying out loud this like a historical moment.

That sounds more like a uncontrollable love for Nintendo especially it if was the same price as the wiiu .
And back to your first part yes graphic don't matter to some people yet it does matter to lots of other people to some it because of their love of technology and art (my reason) and to others it helps immersion as you imagination degenerates as you get older .

While I'm a big Nintendo fan, Every one knows I'm the biggest Sega fanboy here Lol.

It wasnt so much the graphics or art styles, it was the fact that on a 40" LCD 1080p TV it looked horrendous, even with the component cable it looked pixelated, and the jaggies were everywhere it was really awful to play.
Also i have been gaming since i first got the NES when it came out, and back in the days of NES and SNES, and even PS1 and N64 gaming was done on old CRT TV's, and as most of you should know gaming looked way different on those old things.

I have my Wii on a 32 " LCD with component and I think it looks fine. However it does look better on my classic JVC 32" crt.

Seems to have stirred up a bit of a hornets nest as most seem to have missed the point of the original post. It was not my intention to intimate that the Wii U was not an improvement on the Wii, my intention was to point out that it could have been even better. The Wii was an innovative gaming experience when it was first introduced, standing out against all the completion with its different approach but it did have several drawbacks, such as being slow to load games and having mediocre graphics. I had expected that the Wii U would address these problems while keeping the good features the Wii had, but it does not. No doubt the operating system will improve over time and many games that take advantage of the new features will appear I also realise that there are work arounds for those missing channels I mentioned but one must question whether that is actually progress? Finally, I always thought my Wii was slow but on boot it takes 7 seconds to get to the menu, my Wii U takes 32 seconds even with the improvement made in CPU and memory technology from the time of the Wii development; Is the new OS four times larger?
