No offense, but I don't think you know what the stats of the 360 and PS3 really are like.
360 - 3.2GHz Tri-Core Processor, 512MB RAM (shared between CPU and GPU), 500MHz video card similar to Radeon HD 2000. Nothing exactly mind blowing by today's standards.
PS3 - 3.2GHz Cell Processor ("8" cores), 256MB RAM, 256MB GPU RAM, 500MHz video card similar to GeForce 7800. Again, computers of 2011 are significantly improved.
What exactly makes you think Nintendo cannot make a budget system with better specs considering today's computers?
Also, many tablets are introducing dual core processors. I imagine the controller isn't as expensive to produce these days as it might have been 5 years ago.
