The strongest and more expensive console will win this generation, it never happened before.

Super NES was more expensive and more powerful than the Genesis and it won.

And no, stuff like the 3DO doesn't count, those systems had no real support and were more like market experiements. 3DO at $700 would be like $1100+ today, it clearly was not ever aimed at the mass market. 

This is a stupid "rule" anyway. 

If low cost and low tech ruled the day, then the Dreamcast should've beat the PS2, GameCube, and XBox. Heck, GameCube should've beat the PS2, it was cheaper. 

There are more factors and nuances to the market than this. 

I never said that the weakest consoles always win just that the strongest consoles never won before. Like i said to rol the sega megadrive was stronger with addonns (32x, mega CD). And the 3DO did matter it sold 3 million units, there were countless console alternatives who were stronger than the snes at the time. FM towns marty, neo geo, 3do, jaguar, amiga32x cd, turbografx.
