Only considering graphics... Wii is better (especially with the side by side comparison of the new 3DS and Wii versions of Xenoblade Chronicles) 3DS graphics are good for a Nintendo handheld, but it does not beat the Wii

Wii vs 3DS games, that would be a lot more difficult to choose..

And ports from GC/Wii to 3DS so far have seen some trimming, like Xenoblade and DKCR.

What baffles me is that 3DS has 3 times the RAM of GC, yet in just about every game I've seen, it's textures are more PS2/Dreamcast calibre. Maybe it's just that they don't deem high res textures necessary on a small screen...

On the otherhand MH3U saw some advantages over the Wii version, especially in the shader department. 

Budgets are a big factor as well.
