I know this is a comparison about games but I think the similarities between the two systems are more interesting.  For example:

  • Both systems can arguably be considered more powerful than any of their competition.
  • Both systems were noted as being notoriously hard to program for
  • Both systems marked a substantial decline in userbase marking their creator's fall from being the most popular console (despite having what some consider the best games of their time)
  • Both were their creator's third console 
  • Both consoles were released a year later than their closest competitor
