So 3DS is as powerful as the GC basically.. meaning it's a lot more powerful than the psp.. but way weaker than the vita which approaches 360 capabilities

I believe 3DS actually has more raw power than Wii, but since some of that power is reserved for displaying everything in 3D, graphically it winds up being "apparently" a bit more powerful than GameCube (in 2D of course). Even without the 3D, it's clearly more significantly more powerful than the PSP.

@OT, If you're talking about raw power, you're going from something less powerful than the PS2 to something more powerful than the Wii. If it's apparent 2D graphical capabilities we're comparing, uh, I don't really know. I'm guessing the PSP was comparable to the Dreamcast in graphical capabilities, while the 3DS is comparable to the XBox, but I don't know how resolutions factor into that. If you blew up PSP or 3DS onto a tv screen they would both look horrible, I think.


Your belief is incorrect. The 3DS hardly matches the GC in raw power. You can compare the game easily for that.

No one even caim close to pushing the maximums on the Wii because there wasn't a single Wii game that exceeded the Rogue Squadron games achievement on the GC even though the Wii was more powerful.

It would be more accurate to place the 3DS around the power of the Xbox1 in real world performance.
