Regarding Call of Duty:WAW, it's true that it looks basically like a PS2 game in 480p, but that's less a problem with the hardware and more a problem of lazy developers. Games built for the Wii from the ground up tend to look considerably better.

The primary demographic for COD mostly consists of 360 and PS3 owners. Putting minimal effort into the Wii version was less about laziness and more about return on investment.

The sales numbers prove that decision was the correct one. COD:WAW has been a complete failure on the Wii while selling millions of copies for the 360 and PS3. The extra effort to make the Wii version look better wouldn't have been worth the time and money--and "better" is a relative term because it still wouldn't look half as good as the PS3 and 360 versions.
