In fairness to Nintendo price point is important and this will be the first console generation where the more powerful system has won ever (so history until now anyways has implied power not matter as much as we would like) of course part of that success may also be that the PS4 is also the first time ever that the more powerful system has cost less than one of its competitors.

PS1 and PS2 were not that far behind their competition though.

Also reason you seeing PS4 winning now (apart from Micrososft and Nintendo royally fucking up) is partially because gamers are getting older and their disposable income has gone up so they can afford to go for the best at only $400. 

All valid points. My point is more that history may be giving nintendo the idea that they can operate in this manner. I mean people on the internet complain all the time and ask for features and sequels to lesser known games all the time. But when you crunch the numbers companies normally follow the money. Until just now with the PS4 there was little evidence the power equaled winning. Hell the PS2 is great example (you are absolutely right in saying it wasn't that far behind) if you compare 3rd party games that released on multiple platforms from the generation the visual difference is shocking, not just because of the lower power but the difficulty to develop for it, but 3rd parties continued to support it because of the numbers. I am not saying nintendo is right, I am saying I know why they think they are right.
