On the other hand, we’re at a point where graphics are good enough that the change between console generations is diminishing. The 360 and PS3 are definitely better looking than their predecessors, but I’m not sure if the PS3 looks as much better than the PS2 than the PS2 does when compared to the PS1. On that count, I’ve been looking at the Wii as offering a third alternative, and I’ve been prepared to embrace its control scheme, on that one condition which it has so far failed to deliver on: I really need the Wiimote to feel more natural than a game controller. I want to be able to pick up these games and just feel like I already know what I’m doing and how to do it. So far, I’ve yet to experience that, and my time playing the PS2 has done the opposite; I always know what the jump button is, because it’s always X. There are certain conventions on traditional consoles that have yet to appear on the Wii (and, indeed, may never appear, possibly giving every game a higher learning curve).

So yeah, that’s my longwinded way of saying that I more or less agree.
