The 'most powerful system never wins' was always kind of a stupid "rule" that some people got too carried away with. Almost always there were other aspects at play there.
The SNES did beat the Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 too, and it was more powerful than either.
The N64 would have beat the Playstation had Nintendo not been stupid and crippled the console with cartridge only. |
It's not a rule. it's history. The weakest doesn't always lose but the strongest never wins.....until now. What we fail to mention is that, historically, the strongest always arrived too late or at way too high of a price port with miniscule support. The PS4 somehow managed to avoid evey mistake and clock in at $399.
*edit* while the Super Nintendo beat the Genesis and TG-16, there were also more powerful 4th gen consoles....

This is kind of a cop out arguement, the main 16-bit consoles were the Genesis, TG-16, and Super NES. Just because some half-assed $700 machine from 3D0 came out two-three years later doesn't make the SNES the most powerful console of that cycle, it would be like saying well the PS4 isn't the most powerful if/when Steambox eventually releases.

Hey, if you want to pretend other consoles didn't exist, that's fine with me. I can't change history. I only report it.
