Seriously? Nintendo practically invented the arms race when they made sure SNES was more powerful than Genesis, showed off the 64 bit graphics of the N64 over the PlayStation and made sure that GCN could go toe to toe with Xbox and PlayStation.

Actually, before even that.  The NES launched at the same time as Sega's first console but it blew it away in terms of graphics and processing power, which gave it an unbeatable advantage.  

The Nintendo empire was founded by using the graphical arms race to their advantage.

Yeah that was the thing Yamauchi always made sure happened with consoles. I miss him.
