I'm confused, at no point in time was the N64 or XBox more popular than the Playstation or PS2; and there certainly was no point when the N64 sales doubled the Playstation's sales for over a year, or the XBox was ahead in sales by over 7 Million units.

Actually, the N64 and Xbox were much more powerful than their Playstation competitor. As evidenced by it's name, the N64 ran on a 64-bit processor, whereas the PS1's was 32-bit. The reason PS1 seemed more powerful was because of the storage space--technically, Final Fantasy 7 had the potential to look much better on the 64 if they had space on the 32mb cartridges to store all the extra textures/lighting effects/cutscenes. Also, Xbox and PS2 had no comparison, graphically. The Reason that Ninja Gaiden and Riddick (best-looking games last-gen) were Xbox-exclusive was because the competition couldn't handle them.

Powerful and popular are not the same thing.

Never said they were

It's been said to death that the most powerful console has never won.

 In fact, look at it this way:

Right now, there are 5 current-gen pieces of gaming hardware.

Powerwise: PS3>360>Wii>PSP>DS

However, saleswise: DS>PSP=Wii(most powerful handheld/least powerful console)>360>PS3
