At this point in the game, does it even matter which one is more powerful? Both are comparable. The SNES was more powerful than the Genesis, but if both systems had a version of Mortal Kombat II, everyone was happy. All that's important right now, are the exclusive titles. One thing I learned by playing the Wii, is that prettier doesn't exactly mean better. Depending on who you follow, the weakest system has had the year's best game, two years in a row!!
