If processing power was the most important factor to making a successful system why was the Gameboy one of the most popular systems of all time?

The truth is there are hundreds of factors that lead to one system being more popular than the other, and ultimately the most successful systems were the right console at the right time. What makes the Wii the right system for this generation is open to debate but I personally think that a lot of what most gamers really enjoyed about playing videogames was lost in the endless pursuit of better graphics, online-multiplayer, and more complicated gameplay.
