Facial expressions add a lot to a game. So does atmosphere. Go play the rainbow six demo for the 360. The graphics are amazing. Then go play rainbow six 3 for the xbox. They just don't compare.
And the DS is winning for several reasons. They have more pick up and play games. The touch screen is cool. The load times are a bajillion times faster. It's much cheaper. It came out first. Nintendo already had an established handheld base. It can also play advance games which give it a huge library from launch until now. Lots of reasons. Again, graphics aren't everything, but they are huge.
And what exactly do you mean when you say ai? I'm not quite sure. The ai of alllies and enemies in games seem to already be much better than most games on the last generation. Just look at games developed for all systems like ghost recon. The 360 version is a great game. The ai is annoying and for me kills it on the last generation consoles.
Oh, and i've played HD xbox games. Some of them look great. Ninja gaiden black looks amazing for an xbox game. Sure, it can kinda compete with a game like saints row, and probably beat kameo (god that game looks like crap) but when compared to some upcoming games like gears of war or rainbow six.... it just doesn't look nearly as good.
On a side note, why do 360 games keep getting screwed? Co-op in double agent for xbox is cool like the last splinter cell game but on the 360 you get the online mode with bots and text briefing "missions". It's bullcrap. Putting that pos on ebay and buying the xbox version.
