Based on tech specs and not opinion, is the 3ds stronger than the Wii?

If we are talking about graphical powers, I really think both are dated to the extent that it doesn't matter. I'd have to say the Wii has more power, but if the 3DS has more RAM as suggested the 3DS might win out on capability in the long run.

Compared to what??, a €250 PSV??, a €500 Iphone4s???, What other handheld do you know that has the power of the 3DS??..

And remember the 3DS has to use even more of its power to process the 3D image, so imagine if it didn't have to do that imagine what its games would look like, id say very close to PSV imo.

Whoa, sorry Zero but I don't think it works that way.  Even if Nintendo wasn't seriously underclocking and eliminated 3D altogether, it can't do what the Vita can, maybe some fancy graphics but not along with gameplay and the battery would drain out in less than an hour.  

Here is what 3DS is using "Two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs, with a 133MHz GPU, 4MBs of dedicated VRAM, 64MBs of RAM, and 1.5GBs of flash storage."

The Vita in comparison has four 800MHz-2000MHz ARM9 CPUs, with a 200MHz-400MHz, 128MBs of dedicated VRAM, 512MBs of RAM.

The 3DS might have ARM11's but its not utilizing them for power and it only has 2, a much better battery is needed to handle the power consumption, in fact the whole device might need new hardware to do that.

*EDIT* Those 3DS figures aren't accurate, ignore them.  Also the Vita has ARM Cortex A9's not ARM9
