Power usage must be some kind of indication of something. I've read the Wii uses about 17 watts while it's on and 14 watts when it's in idle mode. Could be compared to the PS3 or X360 which are both around 180 watts and 160 watts. So by that calculation the Wii is about a tenth as powerful... or it's 10x more energy efficient. I've read many places that the Wii has a little over two times the TEV capability of a GC and about the same computational power as a Power PC but I really don't know what either of those things means. I do know that MP3:C looks great and it doesn't drop frames.
