Wrong, Wii was easily weakest major home console ever compared to its competitors.

Yes a fair cop. I'd forgotten just had bad the wii was. Still loved many of its games though. 12 gflops gpu vs around 250 gflops for ps3 or xbox 360 is over 20x difference. Even the original xbox was over 20 gflops. 

The amount of flops ends up being ultimately irrellevant.

The fact that the Gamecube and Wii used a GPU made by ArtX (It's not an ATI or AMD design) and based around the TEV, means it's not directly comparable to the 360 and Playstation 3 anyway.
For one, fixed function hardware tends to be able to achieve higher utilization levels as it's a known quantity to developers and not as flexible.
Plus... The Wii typically rendered at a lower resolution anyway so it's rendering demands were far less... And was actually pretty proficient at texturing.

To be honest though, I wouldn't be surprised if the difference was less than 20x in some instances but greater than 20x in others, really depends on the load... More modern games of course will perform far better or more modern hardware for obvious reasons.
