PSP: Copy the PS2's specs, lose an analog stick, add massive load times and horrible battery life. New format.

PS3: Add the Wireless controllers Nintendo had last generation, lose the rumble, up the graphics, new format, (try to) copy the motion control that Nintendo revealed more than a year earlier."

 SNES was a full step from 8-bit to 16-bit, which was exactly the entry-size into Gen4, so I don't know what you're talking about there.  The SNES had, by far, the best lineup of its generation.  Particularly in the field of RPGs.  The three games that people tend to talk about as being "on top" for that generation were Final Fantasy VI, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Chrono Trigger (arguably the best RPG ever made, easily the best sprite-based RPG).

N64: ...they jumped to 3D.  How is that "barely upping the graphics"?  Granted, the N64 performed sub-par.

GCN: Stronger graphics than the PS2, so I don't know where you're pulling the "barely" from again.
