You try to be funny?
The Snes was built to be cheap.
The Amiga in 1985 was the first PC to display photographs in up to 4096 colors simultaneously (while PCs and Macs usually only offered 2 colors), the sound chip offered great quality stereo audio even today capable of playing back near CD quality MP3s (while the PC could only beep internally and the Mac was silent), it had a pre-emptive multitasking operating system (while mac and PC were single tasking for a decade to come), does that sound cheap to you like a Snes?
Anyhow a lowend homecomputer model based on these specs was released in 1987, the Amiga 500:

The Snes is 1990's hardware, released in Europe and Australia in 1992. IMO nothing really topped its launch title Super Mario World, there didn't seem to be any real learning curve for developers and not much more hardware potential to tap into. IMO the Snes was lacking severely in game gerne varierty.
The Snes was a lowly specced game console, hence cheap.
