Power didn't push the NES, PS1, PS2, OR Wii ahead. 


Because power back then made little difference. Even if you doubled the power of rivals, you wouldn't see much of a difference. Now though, you do and people have noticed it. Plus power now allows for a more varied game library which devs are opting for. Combine this with price and market image, and it is misguided to assume that the PS4 won't utterly dominate this generation.

The Wii wasn't that long ago. Another thing, how does the PS4's power allow for a more vaired game library? Aside from the resolution issue (which is overblown), there isn't a lot that PS4 can do that the Xb1 can't.

The PS4 has roughly 50% more power - that is a lot. This allows for more effects and mechanics eg destructible environments, use of particle physics, more objects on screen etc. People who think power only improves resolution need to either study or use a game engine to see how games actually work

I know about all of that stuff. The PS4 is more powerful, but it's not like the PS360 vs Wii. The XB1 will still get all of the big AAA games and whatnot. You talk about the power difference, but how many 3rd party devs will actually use this? Destiny looks better on PS4, but it's not something to run out and buy a PS4 over (not like Uncharted anyway), and I still don't understand what you mean by "varied game library". Most 3rd party devs put games on both consoles for financial reasons.
