To add to what the dude earlier said about weaker consoles winning each gen:

Atari 2600 - Weaker than many later competitors and outlived them
NES - weaker than the Master System
SNES - the exception, though CPU-wise it was outclassed by the Genesis and the Neo Geo was still the most powerful console at the time

There's yet to be a payoff for chasing the most advanced hardware.
