How in the world are you going to leave NES out of that list?!?!?

I got lazy

Plus, I didn't want to risk starting a whole debate around that. A lot of people act like the NES and SNES are the model of what Nintendo should be doing, making """normal""" hardware that is much more like the original standards that Nintendo created for the home console industry. I wouldn't separate them from that list, but I didn't want it to devolve into  "well actually, the SNES is more similar to the Playstation, and the Xbox 360 is more similar to the Playstation 2 than the Playstation 3 is, and .." that kind of stuff. 

I don't know why I keep hearing that the NES had "normal" hardware.  It had same processor as the Atari 2600.  Nintendo seems to do its best work when the hardware is underpowered.
