wrong, the genesis was more powerful than the snes
the n64 was more powerful than the psx,
dreamcast, xbox and gamecube were all more powerful than the ps2.

better luck next time dragon, first look up the facts ;).

The genesis has a more power cpu, yes, but the snes had much better graphical and sound co-processors. In addition, the carts could supply their own custom chips to take things even futher (e.g. Super FX).

 The SNES had far more colors too.
