yes, the PS3 is, theoretically, much stronger than 360 Wii combined. The Problem is, that the stuff inside the 360 is more opted for gaming than the PS3, so much of this power is going to waste.

Really? I didn't know that.  So PS3's architecture is wasting that much energy?  Source?  Stronger than both combined would be nuts...

energy? you mean processing power, right? well, thats actually pretty known, the easiest thing would be to search for some interviews.. this one for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PFUw29U4J8

For apps that do not require graphical presentation (Folding / Military stuff.. u know that US Supercomputer Story of 2,200 PS3s, no?) the Cell is a beast. and its not hard to be stronger than both in this thing, because the wii is maybe 1/6 of a 360 in terms of processing power.
