I was literally just thinking about this.
Why do the weaker consoles often win?
I have some sales statistics that prove this
Weakest Sales(M) Strongest Sales(M)
Snes 49.08 Megadrive 30.75
PS1 102.49 N64 32.93
PS2 117.89 Xbox 24.76
GB 118.69 GG 10.67
I do not see price point as an issue here, as the gamecube was released at $200 in 2001 and the PS2 was released in 1999 at $300. I would rether attribute these sales to marketing as by 1999 the now common playstation brand was very popular whereas nintendos still illusive Dolphin project was not gaining much recognition. It's all down to marketing.
