No, it was completely accurate. Do you think my statement is wrong somehow?

Yeah, I cleared up my mistake on the specs I quoted. (still don't know the 3DSs actual specs right now) You have to remember though, you brought it up. All I said is that the graphics of both systems are dated, they are. Look at them. The next gen of console hardware is almost upon us and gaming is moving to things like DX11. What I meant when I said it wasn't good for gaming, I should clarify because that does sound dismissive and I apologize. Increased hardware capabilities increase the potential for greater gaming experiences, especially in the form of AI. The way the 3DS stands now limits itself to the development of previous generations. Great games can still be made that way, a whole ton of great games were made with that type of power and the 3DS has a few tricks of its own as well as years of experience and techniques they can use to make games better. I'm not sure why you are toting lower rez and smaller screens as a testament to the 3DS's power,

My original statement was to say that both systems have such similar graphics potential because of their hardware it doesn't really matter that much in determining if the Wii or the 3DS is better equipped. The real battle will probably be in the capabilities of the systems other abilities, like AI, OS and whatever have you.

It's not more powerful, but the 3D definitely makes games look better than the best available on Wii.

Not bad!

EDIT: Actually, 'strong' doesn't imply how much force it experiences (per unit volume as you've done).  What you need to do is measure the tensile strength, i.e. how at what force the material breaks. Then you can use your data above and make a conclusion. Btw, where'd you learn physics?

Hope this helps in somewhat showing that the 3DS is equal/slightly more superior to the Wii!!!  Also, I don't know why Vita fans are saying the Vita is HD when the screen is outputting sub-HD resolution?

The Wii is a fare bit more powerful. The 3DS is just flexible.

At first I thought it was when I played madden on the 3ds since the 3ds version of madden looks better than the wii version. But after playing mario kart on my 3ds relentlessly and then playing the wii version, it was clear that the wii version was graphically superior. Since mario kart is a first party title and nintendo usually makes the most of the systems capabilities, I concluded that the wii was a more powerful console, but the 3ds is very close. Cant wait for the wii u to come out. I dont think ive ever been more excited for a system than for the wii u.

I believe it's between the gamecube and wii. I'm pretty sure im wrong though(remember reading this somewhere)

Remember the 3DS is a totally new architecture (albeit: not a totally new architecture but still new) so a learning curve has to be expected.  The Wii is essentially a boosted GCN having 1.5-2x the power while having the same textures and effects.

Polygons/sec

GCN: 8-12mil

Wii: 16-18mil

3DS: 15.3mil @200Mhz

          20.4mil @268Mhz

So, is DX11 something only Microsoft can use? If its proprietary fine, then im just using it as a reference. Otherwise Im not sure how you are knowing what unanounced consoles will have in the end. The handhelds dont need to be next console hardware capable but that wasnt what i was refering to. The 3ds is being compared to the wii and the wii has been declared more of a last gen console than current by many. To be honest im pleasantly surprised with the RE video's graphics. Some decent lighting on the 3ds, but its still lacking on particles and especially textures. Though i think Bend Studios could have done a better job, the 3ds can not do what that game does on the Vita. The amount of textures and pixels that thing is pushing is amazing, particles could be better though among other things, but they are still plenty of them. The river scene later in the game with all of its dynamics could not be done on the 3ds even with 3d removal.
