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

It has better shaders and more RAM, so it can do better looking games than Wii can.

There you go. This the answer to the entire thread.

The 3DS may not have as much processing power (though I don't know if that's true), but what Play4Fun just said is exactly right.

Oh man, so I guess if I buy some $400 pc and just buy 16GB RAM for it I'll be good to go?

Because that kind of RAM is totally the same thing.

And yet my analogy that a machine's most powerful component does not determine the power of the machine still stands. 

Your analogy was a fail. Accept that.

No, it was completely accurate. Do you think my statement is wrong somehow?
