Does more power really mean a better game?

We have plenty of Wii U games that are successors to Wii and/or Gambecube games that are better thanks to fewer technical limitations. Mario Kart 8, Sm4sh, Pikmin 3 etc.

 

Nintendo benefits from more power just like any other developer. To claim otherwise is silly.

And we have Wii games like Mario Galaxy or Xenoblade that are better than some Wii U games, Mario 3D World or Xenoblade X. It very obvious that more power does not mean better game, its actually silly to say something like that. Its seems Zelda BotW will be better game than Horizon Zero, despite Zelda BotW is basically Wii U game.

The point I'm trying to make is that better hardware = fewer limitations = more options = more potential for a good game. Potential isn't always fulfilled, so more power doesn't necesarily mean a better game. I don't think I've ever heard anyone make such a claim anyway, so in that sense, the title is weird. But I don't really see a point in discussing further. Power is neither a requirement nor a guarantee for good games, but more power is better.
