Microsoft might get away with weak hardware and still sell well because of other stuff and that makes me sad...

The most powerful console of each generation has never ever ever been the top seller.

Look at what the more powerful consoles were though. Either they were the most expensive (sometimes way overpriced), beaten to the punch by a console that was already highly successful, or had no previous history in the industry. The PS4 is the most powerful and is not the most expensive, was not beaten to the punch by a successful console (relatively speaking), and has a brand history.

well, GC was more powerful and cheaper than PS2, didn't stop it from selling only 20m units though...

But it was beaten to the punch by a console that was highly successful by the time Gamecube launched. So the point stands.
