SNES was stronger than Genesis.
N64 was stronger than the PS1.
Whichever console came into the market last is usually the stronger product. Exception obviously wii vs 360.
The winner is decided by games that attract people. NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, and now Wii are the winners because within their first few months they gained the mass consumer's appeal. This gave them a quick rise in userbase to pass their competition and that gave them ultimate 3rd party attention, thus more games, thus more customers.
