This is an weird one. In IGN's preview of Nintendo's upcoming 3D DS console, the 3DS, some developers that have had a chance to play with the hardware claim that it is far more powerful than the Wii, and could be on par with the Xbox 360 or PS3 when it comes to processor power.
Apart from the physical impossibility this presents, that a small handheld console can somehow be as powerful as a the giant (comparatively) PS3/Xbox 360. However, perhaps the developers are taking about PS3/Xbox 360 like graphics, but with the 3DS's smaller screen (and lower resolution), it might all just be possible to have PS3/Xbox 360 "like" games.
The 3DS will employ 3D technology where the viewer will not need glasses to view the 3D effect, similar to those holographic cards you sometimes get with packets of potato chips, but obviously more advanced. The disadvantage of such a system is that viewing angles are particularly limited, but that's not a problem on a small screen.
