The 3DS is around the strength of the PS2 but its games have the potential to look better then Wii games through advanced shaders. The PS2 can push more polys, and higher res textures and the wii is 2x the strength of the PS2. Just look at the tech demo for MGS 3DS. This demo demonstrates the power of the 3DS (the actual game looks no where near as good and has a poor framerate). Although the tech demo looks way better then the ps2 game, there are far fewer polygons on screen, same can be seen with mario kart which doesn't look as good as the wii counter part.

The fact that MSG3 struggles to run on the 3DS tells you its not even as powerful as the gamecube.
