fillet here above me is correct.
Comparing portable power to home console power is relative anyway. Of course a portable's power will not be on par with a full home console until a few generations later. Why? It doesn't need to be. It only needs to have an acceptable performance relative to it's screen size and be able to 'push polygons' as much as is noticeable on it's screen size.
The 3DS (and the Vita too) outperforms the Wii and GameCube only in this 'relative' sense, because it's hardware allows it to look better on it's small screen than the Wii does on a big screen.
That's it.
