The PC Express could play 8 / 16 bit games on the go, the PSP was dramatically more powerful than DS as is the Vita to 3DS, the 360 and PS3 are dramatically more powerful than Wii as most likely will be the next Microsoft and Sony consoles in comparison to Wii U, so it's happened quite a bit more than once.

No, it's not, at least not in the same area as Wii/PS360 situation. DS is your N64 minus texture filtering and far better framerate, PSP is not a PS2 by all means = in the same ballpark. So the only gen when Nintendo deliberately gimped specs in order to purse other opportunities is 7th gen, namely the Wii.




"Processing Power
This one is obviously in the PSP's favor. While the Nintendo DS has a very capable 3D chip, able to render the likes of Super Mario 64, it's no contest that the PSP has more raw power than the DS. Even the launch games (which didn't exactly have a ton of time to be developed) approach the graphical abilities of the PlayStation 2. Comparing a PS2 to the N64 is like night and day, and that's pretty much the same comparison that can be made here. Really, this one is no contest.

Winner: PSP"

Doesn't sound like they're in the same ballpark to me.
