Is the 3DS weaker than a Gamecube?

With the quality of the average game, it'd seem the 3DS is weaker. The only game that's been released that's comparable to what's been on the Gamecube is Revelations and I think Resident Evil 4 looks better in aspects, including character models.

Not only does RE4 on the Gamecube look better, but the 3DS version of Revelations has very noticeable frame drops whenever loading new areas and even runs sub 30fps a lot of the time throughout the rest of the game.

Let's be honest, unless a game has a loading screen, most games experience some kind of frame drop when loading new areas.  Also, the game runs at 30FPS for the majority of the game.  I have proof of that, too.

Eitherway, what you say still doesn't line up with OP as he says that the 3DS is "substantially weaker" (without even clarifying the meaning of such a phrase).
