""Though technical specifications on the Revolution hardware are not yet available, Nintendo says their new console is only two or three times as powerful as the GameCube."

I would go with the first thing they say. That would be about 200%-300% more powerful. Even if you look at numbers alon the wii is about 200% more poweful than the gamecube."
Two things I must say about that.
First, that news is from before Nintendo even renamed the system, and over a year and a half before it's launch. Therein you can't really be certain they stuck with the technical specifications mentioned in that article. Keep your hat on, I'm not saying Wii couldn't or isn't made with those specifications.
Second, the comment I made wasn't intended to say Wii is only 20% more powerful. Only the graphics, assuming I remembered correctly. That being said, I know the Wii as a whole is much more powerful than the GameCube. However, I was only speaking about the graphics, and not any of the other system functions, such as it's processing, etc. etc.
