"The most powerful will never wins" and "the most expensive never wins" have always been meaningless arguments and "because it hasn't happened before" is not a reason. That people thought it was some type of gaming law, especially when we're dealing with a sample size of only a few generations, is just silly.

Graphical power is only irrelevant when price outweighs perceived value. Unto itself, it's always a positive. Perceived value is the most important aspect, usually. It's the art of finding the sweet spot on the graph between power and price tag, plus having a compelling catalog of software.

This. Although I would also add brand power.

Yeah, PS2 had gen 6 on lock down due to the brand, without brand power PS3 would have been the original X1 and N64 would have been the Original Dreamcast.
