@democide You actaully are partially right about the internet on 3ds.. the only exception to that is all extra data... weapons.. items.. etc. is actually stored on the system or in the case of the 3ds the sd card as a READ ONLY txt file that the hardware executes when initiated by the game.. the times that it would lag on wii was only because the ram took a hit each time a new npc.. in this case the monster.. was rendered. The online had NO compensation for this as the wii's broadway cpu had the network fully integrated with other operations like the os and games.

The strength of the 3ds in this case is that all files are removeable via the 3ds meaning less hard disk space is accessed for the txt files as solid state is MUCH faster than disc drives and the 3ds is split up into TECHNICALLY 3 cores. 1 to run the OS and apps, 1 to run the games and an additional sound/light floater to take a load off the cp/gpu hence why the music for most 3ds games was AWESOME but the effects sounded watery or low-quality. that said the 3ds is VERY good at multi-tasking especially when it comes to the internet however very little of the 3ds' multi-tasking features are ever used outside of being able to pause game and access internet/camera/notifications/ friends.
