I think you give the Wii too much credit. It's not that much more powerful than the original Xbox. But with that said, I haven't seen a game on the Wii that has come close to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on the original Xbox. Mario Galaxy 2 and Sonic Colors are two of the games that probably best represent the Wii's graphics, but they still don't match the shadow and shader effects seen in SC:CT. Resident Evil: Revelations matches pretty close to some of what was seen in that game (shadow effects look pretty bad, though), and is also a game at the beginning of the 3DS's life cycle. In fact, Nano Assault has the best shader effects seen on the 3DS thus far...even out-doing what was seen in the previous console generation. I fully expect to see 3DS games surpass anything that was seen on the Xbox and Wii.
I'm excited to see what Renegade Kid has in store for the 3DS. They pushed what the original DS could at 60FPS, and am hopeful that they take a similar approach to their development on the 3DS.
I don't know why people tell me to get a life. I'm a gamer, I have lots of lives!
