Here's my issue with the "More Power" theory. It follows a somewhat belief in "Moore's Law" which appears to be slowing down in relevance recently, but anyway.
Moore's Law states that power of chips (using transistors as his example) will double every 24 months, or cost will halve by then. Intel is already testing 45 NM chips for example(Sourced VIA Wiki).
Now then, consoles are becoming more and more like computers with TV's as monitors, and if your sole benchmark is power, within 24 months, you are, in no uncertain terms, obsolete. Erased, Extinct. The power you provide at this cost will be approx. half of what can be provided in the future.
Power is still good. Without power, one cannot play games. But a launch with pure power would still not have helped. A launch with fantastic games out that are well made... that would have helped. Power can and will be overcome, a game like Chrono Trigger, Metal Gear, Zelda, or Halo is much harder.
See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.
