I think the last point is true to some extent... Power does not sell consoles.

Power definately sells products as long as the cost isn't too high.  This is probably one of the biggest laughably wrong lists I have ever seen.

So the more powerful $300 XBox of 2001 had no problem overcoming the weaker $300 PlayStation 2, huh?
And the more powerful $200 Gamecube had no problem overcoming that same weaker $300 PlayStation 2.

What about that $200 Nintendo 64 powerhouse wiping the floor with that weaker $300 PlayStation of 1994?

And I guess the more powerful $200 Sega Master System easily overcame the weaker $200 Nintendo Entertainment System too, right?

I laid the proof out for you all generation by generation.
IT'S NOT POWER, guys.

P.S.: Happy New Year!

The PS2 had been out for almost 2 YEARS before the Xbox showed up.  Yeah it was stronger, but not enough to make up for being worse at EVERYTHING else besides LIVE.

The PS3 would not have outsold the 360 if it was perceived as weaker.
