I keep hearing people say this, and I'm not sure why, unless it's just referring to lack of HD. The GameCube was more powerful than the PS2, noticeably so as the generation progressed. The Wii is noticeably more powerful than the Wii (though obviously most games so far aren't really focusing on that...) -- so why compare the Wii with the PS2, and especially the PSP? The PS2 was the weakest in the previous generation, the Wii is the weakest in this one, but there's still a big gap between the two...
