Will the new 3ds be more powerful than the Wii was? I don't know what the ram, CPA, etc were in the wii.

Not even close. It offers more ram but everything else is worse.

Someone else replied that the 3ds (original) is about as powerful as the gamecube. I don't know if that is accurate, but if it is and we know that the wii is pretty much just as powerful as the gamecube, and if we know that the new 3ds will be up to 50% more powerful than the original 3ds/xl then doesn't that mean it will be more powerful than the Wii, let alone the same?

Not quite. Original 3DS is closer to a PS2 than it is a GameCube, so my guess is that the new system is probably closer to the GameCube now. Also, Wii had a faster CPU and more RAM than the GCN did, so while its graphical capabilities are only slightly better than the GCN, it's able to make things like Xenoblade's massive open world possible with that visual quality.
