It's barely more powerful than the Xbox 1. You can say it doesn't matter, and sales prove that right, but it will matter for a lot of games. Wii is last gen. (I want to remind people that I'm most likely getting a Wii, despite so many things I find wrong with it such as this. I never had a gamecube so it's worth about $100 to me for that.)

I don't think you really understand what you're talking about; it is a well known fact that G3, G4 and G5 PowerPC processors were far faster than their Pentium 2, Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 counterparts at the same clockspeed. It wasn't until Intel released the Prescot 2M core in Early 2005 that the Pentium 4 line became competative with other processor lines at similar clockspeeds; at 2.8 GHz the Prescott core was considered 'equal' to the Willamette core at 6.2GHz which is why it was named Pentium 4 HT 620.
