I doubt Wii is stronger that Xbox 1 .It has to demostrate it in any case .

Lets compare the specs. xbox

Operating System	- Windows 2000 Core OS (Custom designed by MS) - DirectX 8.0a (Drivers) - Part 1 of the OS is on the hard disk < 1 MB - Part 2 of the OS can be DVD disc < 500 K - (Part 1 includes the core OS, DirectX, DVD playback, some drivers and 3D user interface) - (Part 2 includes things like libraries, other drivers and other features needed by the developer) - OS takes less then 3 MB in RAM - The OS has a 3D user interface when no games are inserted to play music CDs, run DVD movies etc. - The games run in ring 0, known as kernel mode which is the fastest mode possible.
V-CHIP	Parental control on DVD's with ESRB ratings
Size	Width: ~31cm Depth: ~27cm Height: ~10cm
Total Internal Components	800     Wii CPU (Broadway) Superscalar microprocessor with six execution units (floating-point unit, branching unit, system register unit, load/store unit, two integer units) Operating speed of 729 MHz Bus to main memory: 243 MHz, 64 bits (maximum bandwidth: 1.9 gigabytes/sec) 32-kilobyte 8-way set-associative L1 data cache (can set up 16-kilobyte data scratch pad) Onboard 256-kilobyte 2-way set-associative L2 integrated cache Supports three L2 cache fetch modes: 32, 64, and 128-Byte DMA unit (15-entry DMA request queue) used by 16-kilobyte data scratch pad Write-gather buffer for writing graphics command lists to the graphics chip GPU (Hollywood ) Operating speed of 243 MHz 3 megabytes of embedded graphics memory 24 megabytes of internal main memory Internal main memory operates at 486 MHz Maximum bandwidth between GPU and main memory: 3.9 gigabytes per second The GPU of the Wii is identical to the GC's but it is on average 1.5X faster Other details 64megabytes of GDDR3 external main memory Internal non-removable 512MB flash memory used as storage for game save data and downloadable content The following interfaces are included with the Wii: SD card slot, Wireless controller, two USB 2.0 ports, wireless LAN, 4x GC controller ports, 2x GC memory card slots and an AV multi output jack (analogue only) Two main disc types supported the single sided 12cm single sided 4.7gb and the double sided 8.51 GB. Nintendo GC discs also supported. The maximum read speed is the equivalent of a 6 speed DVD

Now lets compare. First lets look at the cpu. Xbox is 733mhz Wii is 729 Mhz. Yep they are about the same in clock speed. The difference is that the wiis cpu is has a far more efficient architecture meaning it could do 2-4 times what the xbox can in a certain amount of time. Alright now lets look at the gpu. Again the gpus are about the same speeds but the wiis gpu is more efficient doubling or tripling the performance. Now ram. The wii has two types of ram gddr3 and T-Ram both of these faster than the ddr ram in the xbox. There is also more of it. The wii also has many times the cache. Now this was a really basic analysis. I could go in more depth but the specs on the wii are very limited. The wii far outperforms the original xbox.
