Well, this isn't quite accurate for this generation of hardware. Both the 360 and the PS3 have massive amounts of raw processing power, they're still a couple of years ahead of what top-end PCs deliver -- the raw clock speeds of the latter don't translate into the graphical prowess of the former, the new consoles really are monsters. This wasn't true for the last gen - the Gamecube, PS2, Xbox fell behind PCs by 2002.
The genius of the Wii, of course, is that all this is irrelevant. Nintendo applied their technological savvy not to processing power, but to the other things which make gaming great - terrific controls, seamless interfaces, compact design.
