This negated whatever technical advantage the Saturn might have had over the PS because it was so difficult to actually use that power to create a better looking game than a PS1 counterpart. Specs don't matter one bit. The proof is in the pudding. SNES games had better graphics than Genesis games. PS1 games had better graphics than Saturn games. PS2 games had better graphics than DC games. In some ways, the PS1 was in fact more powerful than the N64. I know a lot of people who bought a PS1 because of FFVII for its presentation which was unachievable on the N64 because of cartridges. |
The only way the ps1 was more powerful than the n64 was the ability to put FMVs on the disk, and some N64 games had FMVs too(not as much as the ps1). Also I don't think he said the least powerful console wins, but the most powerful console never won. I do agree though power had nothing to do with their sucess.
