What amazes me is that this game in particular seems to be the most hyped game. It looks like an early DX9 game, it's storyline is mediocre at best with Halo 2 just being bad and it's mp features have been copied from tons of other games who even did a better job at it.
Even the 360 has way better looking games with a better storyline then this one, I just never got the point in this game and I really don't see why a man or young boy would want to play with pink dolls in mp. I can see it now, texan father walks in on his son gaming with a pink doll in mp and son gets tossed out of the house

Actually, your point about graphics brings me around to something else I have been wondering about.
While Sony and MS have been playing the graphics one-upmanship game in a very predicatable progression, Nintendo did the unthinkable and basically repackaged the Gamecube (last-gen graphics and all) with really nice motion controls.
The results speak for themselves. I am beginning to think that graphic-philes (my word) are kind of like audiophiles, a very minor niche market.
I am neither of the above. Halo3 graphics make me perfectly happy, in fact Wii graphics are just fine with me. If I can readily identify what the object is supposed to be without an explanation or a sign telling me, then I'm good to go. By the same token, expensive sound systems don't impress me. Just make the sound effective and I'm happy.
Nintendo has cashed in on this, and looking at Halo 3 I am wondering if Bungee took a page from their book and said "Toss the graphics, make it smooth and fun and we will sell boatloads of em"
