Two things:
1.The PS1 wasn't overwhelmingly powerful when it debuted. Some could argue that the N64 (which came out a year later) AND the Saturn (which came out months before) were more powerful.
2. The PS2 didn't introduce the ability to play audio CDs. Everything from the PS1 to the Turbo-Duo could play CD's.
Aside from that, it was interesting and fun to read. Go Playstation!!
