The 3DS is designed to output at a much lower resolution than the Wii, since it's a handheld, and can't generate as many polygons. Though it does have some advantages like a more modern GPU and CPU. More RAM and normal shader support is probably the biggest reason why Resident Evil looked pretty decent.

I was trying to make the point that you can't say that RAM is the reason why one system was better than the other.

Right, but I wouldn't use 3DS and Wii as an example because of the inherent differences between home consoles and handhelds.

When the point is that "RAM" is the reason one system is more powerful than another, it wouldn't matter if it's between "home consoles" and "handhelds."  128 is still larger than 88.  If RAM were the reason one system was more powerful than another, then it shouldn't make a difference if it's handheld or home console.
