This is not to scale and not representative of actual significance in differences, just a list of least powerful to most.

DS . PS2 . PSP . GC . XBOX . 3DS . Wii . Vita . 360 . PS3 . WiiU


DS . PSP. DC . PS2 . XBOX . 3DS . GC . Wii . Vita . 360 . PS3 . WiiU

Fixed

GBA . DS . PSP . PS2 . DC . XBOX . GC . Wii . 3DS . Vita . 360 . PS3 . WiiU

Fixed again .

GBA also belongs in that list by the way, if we're talking 6th/7th/8th Gens. Guess it semi-depends on experience... Or something.


Both wrong.

XBOX 1 was more powerful than a Gamecube, Wii and a 3DS.

3DS was more powerful Gamecube, Wii and XBOX.

You guys don't seem to understand raw quntity of RAM and raw speed of CPU doesn't dictate the speed of the console - it's an indicator only. You have the GPU to take into consideration - which is actually much more important.

 

DS. DC. PSP.  PS2. GCN.  Xbox1. 3DS. Wii. PSV. PS3. X360. Wii U. *

Fixed. 

*The PSP is more similar in power to the DC more than the PS2, while the 3DS is more inline with GCN/Xbox1 but with better, more modern shaders thanks to the PICA200.

i think its the most fair comparison can be made, i still think RE4 looks better despite the shaders and stuff....

As I said, it wouldn't be demonstrating a difference in capability. It would be showing a difference in design.Thee is nothing done in Revelations that the GC couldn't do people are going to take the fact that it wasn't done as a difference in technical capability when its not.


Revelations, just made a few fairly detailed player characters and slapped normal mapping over every single thing on screen. To truly compare those you would have to have a good understanding of the tech running beneath what is going on onscreen. Just looking at them would paint a misleading pictures as anything that is using texture effects is going to look better than something that isn't.

i know youre right, im supporting that too!!!!! just make the damn comparison already!!!



Well at least everybody is in agreement about the 3DS being more powerful than the PSP!!! Now the big question is by how much?

I believe that the PS2/GC comparison is warranted, though I doubt that any 3DS game will beat the best-looking GameCube games (3D simply uses too much resources for that to ever happen), while I also believe the PSP has at least one or two titles that seem to outdo the PS2 (smaller screen effect?).

2x the power is a fair estimate.

DC is more powerful than the PSP - by a long way.

Ahhhh forget it...

I disgree with you and the posters above who quoted me. I know a thing or two about technical specifications on these things and don't go by "this game looked best". That means nothing, and is down to the developer's ability.

Raw specs. I am right.

Everyone knows for example the PSP was allegedly a PS2....which was actually a load of rubbish and not true at all in reality.

The Gamecube is not as powerful as an Xbox....

 

You guys smoke too much crack :p and don't read up enough on actual specification and real numbers of GPU throughput.



Honestly, I don't think it's fair to try to upscale the games and compare them when you're doing these comparison tests. Also, the specs of the 3DS is actually quite better than the GC and Wii in many regards. Many developers have even said that on a visual standpoint the 3DS is actually better than the Wii. This is what I'm basing what I said off of. It's a more capable system, but you guys seem to say "oh, but the screen" like that makes it any less powerful.

To the guy who said /sarcasm about the Monster Hunter thing, Monster Hunter actually did look better on the 3DS than the Wii. However, that's not the only example. There are quite a few examples where the 3DS version outperforms the Wii version of a game on pretty much all levels, and it renders them in 3D and has a top and bottom screen as well (which may not take up much power, but it does do something). I'm quite sure all technology in the 3DS is more modern than the ones in GC and Wii. I believe it's 2006 and newer tech.

why is that important.. don't understand.. if it's 2.3 or even 100 times more powerful.. the games are still the same..

3D definitely takes up a good chuck of the 3DS's power, so it would be unfair to base our judgement on 2D screenshots of 3D games. Monster Hunter is a great example, especially considering how much better the MH games look on 3DS when compared to PSP...

I'd say the same for Kingdom Hearts. Birth By Sleep compared favorably to the PS2 KH games, but I find KH3D to be noticably better. Particularly in terms of environment and character rendering.

Okay, I'm dying to make an image comparison now.
