The Wii is more powerful than the 3DS. This is not up for debate.

But, the 3Ds has a much more modern feature set that allows it to do things the Wii simply couldn't do (but not because it wasn't powerful enough to do it).

I'm trying to figure out what is meant by "more powerful" in this context.  Is this more about the actual power consumption itself and how much power, I guess for a lack of better words, flows through the system?  In which case, that's not really a fair comparison as you want to consume less, right?  I'm talking about "power" as in efficiency and capabilities.  

Power as in performance capability of the hardware.

The Wii easily can push more Gflops than the 3DS.
