I don't name people. That's not fair. But there has been plenty of people that go on about the ps2 being best console etc, and are this gen saying power is everything. Xbox sucks. Yet they didn't love their ps2 because it was the most powerful. There is huge irony in that regard all over the internet.

 

most importantly the point in making is

a, the power debate is internet point scoring

b, people choose the systems that has the games they want in the real world.

That's a nice theory. But as I said earlier, that's simply not true. The internet didn't exist back in the 16bits era. And the same discussions and debates happened.

In the real world, people love eye candy. It was like that even before the internet. 

Now, why don't you start talking about the "irony" about those who boasted about the power of the OXBox, and to some extent the 360, and are now saying they don't care about graphics and power? 


I'm referring to ps2 and xbox. Not snes and mega drive.

I remember loads of tech websites and game websites saying halo wasn't possible on ps2, and how the xbox was alot more powerful.

Now ask 170 million people who bought ps2 if they cared it was 45% less powerful????

 

That's right. They didn't care that resi 4 looked better on gamecube. They were happy with the visuals as they were and they prefer the exclusives they had.

power when its a small difference like 900p to 1080p is not some deal breaker for purchase. Its the games.

 

as for 16 bit. The reason why snes was superior was because Sega had no answer for games like super star wars trilogy, Mario, Zelda, donkey Kong country, starfox etc. Snes had more better titles. Mega drive had some good titles, but lacking compared to snes.

 

exclusives are everything.

This power talk is pure points online. Always has been in every gen.

before internet it was the same just in the playground. My team +1. Sorry its sad.
