Wii and gamecube. I honestly thin the main reason for the better CPU was simply to allow easier ports. Its early days but Nintendo have literally nothing ''new'' coming to the 3DS in 2015. As they support the Wii U and prepare for whatever their next system is, 3DS ports will become a bigger selling point for the system. If I'm right it'll be a way to ease the burden on their devs whilst also pushing hardware sales as people upgrade.
