| FrancisNobleman said: Yes, sony can release an underpowered console, they did it with the PSone, which was behind the N64, and they did it with the PS2, which was behind the Gamecube and Xbox. |
The PSX and PS2 weren't underpowered at launch tho. They were both the most powerful systems available at the time of their launch.
The PSX was more powerful than the Saturn that launched the same year, and it smoked the 3DO and Neo Geo CD etc. The N64 was more powerful but it was released a year later. Same for the PS2 it smoked the Dreamcast which was released over a year earlier, but the Xbox and GCN which were released a year after were more powerful.
Sony has never launched a console (or handheld) that was not the most powerful at launch. They always use cutting edge tech for their hardware.
