It's never been about the specs. Even back with the NES.

The Sega Mega Drive was a failure in Japan because of the NES. The thing was dead in Japan before the SNES ever came out. Japan, you've got to have the goods upfront.

Ironically the Genisis was the HD console of it's era. As even then the other companies tried to paint Nintendo as kiddy... partially due to Nintendo backing down to the senators, while Sega kept it bloody and invented terms like "Blast Processing" to suggest the Mega Drive was way more impressive.

The whole thing worked... with the teen audience. But failed elsewhere... and eventually the SNES prevailed in America.

Sega I believe captured the undeveloped Europeon market though. Europe's never really been Nintendo land.

I agree.  I think MikeB believes that the slimmest of processor advantages over the Xbox 360 is going to result in some sort of enormous eleventh hour boost for the PS3 to the detriment of Microsoft and Nintendo, but making this assumption belays everything we know about how the industry works and the success-breeds-success principle.
