The most powerful systems are never the sales leader

The SNES was the one and only system that was both the most powerful and the sales leader for its generation... I don't count the NEO-GEO because technically it's a 24-bit console, and the 3DO and Jaguar were 32 and 64 bit systems respectively, even though they were released in the middle of the 16 bit gen.

After that, it was PS1 (2nd most powerful of its gen), PS2 (3rd most powerful, with Dreamcast pulling up the rear), and now the least powerful console is the sales leader in the current gen lol.

The NES was the least most powerful as well.

True, although if you want to get technical the Atari 7800 was the least powerful home console during that generation, but since it was essentially developed prior to the crash of '83, shelved and then re-released in the late 80's when the industry was revitalized we won't count that, so point taken superchunk
