This "law" was driven by ignorance for the longest time. The SNES was the most powerful console of its generation and it won.

The Neo Geo, which is usually brought up as a counterpoint, was not made to win; it's a console that is an odd outlier because virtually every other console ever made was intended to win over the market and beat the other consoles in the market. Nothing about the Neo Geo ever suggested that its manufacturer cared about market share. Just look at the hardware and software prices. The system was made to bring an authentic arcade experience to people's homes and everything about it was priced accordingly.

YOU AIN'T GOT THE ANSWERS, ROL.

 

Whether it was made to win or not, the Neo Geo came out in the fourth gen and it was more powerful and it wasn't the best selling console. Don't make me dig out the Neo Geo advertisements. I'll do it, dammit.
