3DS or Vita?

This makes no sense. I think I know what you're trying to say. No. 3DS is weaker than Wii. A mobile chip from 2005 is not stronger than a 2006 console.

First 2005, then 2002, and 2005 again, next time you can come with 1990 if you want. And i never said anything about power, only graphic.

2.Again, don't use some cheaply, quickly ports to show that 3ds is better or worse.

Look:

3DS [2009 architecture, 6.4GFLOPs] (pica200 @200mhz is 4.8GFLOPs, 3DS runs the gpu at 268MHz, so 6.43GFLOPs)
PS2 [Sony 2000 architecture, 6GFLOPs]

3ds -> New 3ds:
ARM11 CPU: 2x MPCore/2x VFPv2 Co-Processor at 268MHz. Doubling to 4x MPCore/4x VFPv2 Co-Processor for new 3DS with 804MHz max clock.
ARM9 CPU: ARM946 at 134MHz.
GPU: DMP PICA at 268MHz (6.4 GFLOPS, 20.5 Million polygons per second at 268MHz, calcutated from 15.3 Million figure and 4.8 GFLOPS at 200MHz)
VRAM: 6MB, 10MB for new 3DS.
DSP: CEVA TeakLite at 134Mhz. ...
System memory: 128MB, 256MB for New 3DS.

So even 3ds is still stronger than ps2, let alone New 3ds, yet Dragon Quest VIII ps2 looks better than 3ds. One was built from ground up for ps2, one was just a quickly and chealy port, so using ports won't be enough to prove anything that related to graphic.

3DS isn't 2-3 times stronger than it is now, so this hypothetical is pointless.

And Xenoblade 3D isn't a cheaply made port, its a conversion by Monster Games, who are a capable studio who specialize in ports and who even co-developed Tropical Freeze, overseen by Nintendo themselves. No evidence it's a poorly done conversion, it's just limited by the hardware.

Your information is also incorrect, 3DS has a GPU from 2005/2006 and a CPU from a 2002-2005 series, not 2009 architecture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PICA200

Xenoblade is much more bigger and complicated compared to Tropical Freeze. Nintendo let Monolith made Project X Zone 1&2 for 3ds, why not Xenoblade 3D too? The result could be much better.

Bold: Anyone can edit the information on wiki, unless you have a better source than mine, you didn't prove anything.

I mean if Wii U is using a GPU from 2008 and a CPU from 2000 what in the world would make Nintendo of 2010 use a more modern chipset for 3DS from 2009 as one claims than their flagship console? lol.

Switch uses a chip that was 2 years old when it launched and that was the most modern thing they used relative to release since launching the Gamecube.

By your logic, let say they used the same chip from 2005, so you think a 2005 chip is the same as itself in 2009??? Like the same technology from 2005, but in 2009 it didn't get any better, ok. And anyone can edit the wiki, just like some fans still claim vita is 50gflops or even worse, it is on par with ps3 power. lol.
