Pretty difficult to top Donkey Kong Country 1,2 and 3 and Killer Instinct on the SNES... And then beat Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong and Conker on the Nintendo 64.

RARE's titles haven't been bad on the Xbox, if anything I think they are criminally underrated most of the time, but they certainly haven't been leading the industry. - In saying that, the industry is very different than the SNES/N64 era anyway, lots more competition.

As I just mentioned Kinect Sports might be their 3rd best selling games, at least according to this site.

Rare's Xbox games aren't bad. They don't get the praise as their N64 work but I feel they've aged better.

I enjoyed some of their 8 and 16 bit stuff, while most of their N64 stuff never felt good to me. But I did enjoy some of their Xbox stuff, Banjo N&B is fucking great. I played a ton of KI (2013), I haven't played much Sea of Thieves but its a big hit.

Kinect Sports is... Well. Yeah. Pass.

Comparing previous gen to current with same CU is going to give lot more performance according to AMD. So tflops number can be misleading.  Lockhart if exist and is 4tf is going outperform the current X. If the new X is 12tf RDNA that is very powerful. Even PS5 9.2tf is big jump compared to the current gen console than the tf number suggest.

Flops are flops. It is simply floating point arithmetic.
If you give GCN a compute-only task, they can perform exceptionally well, even beating RDNA, but switch over to a video game and RDNA pulls ahead, why would that might be you ask? Because games need more than just single precision floating point arithmetic to run... There is a whole GPU sitting behind it.

RDNA and GCN also operate under the same instruction set, RDNA is actually a hybrid design taking GCN and RDNA 2.

Killer Instinct (2013) would have reviewed well over time. The critics just looked at the launch version though which was more like a demo of content. Sea of Thieves was a critical failure, yet it was successful even at launch. So the opinions of critics aren't always crucial.

Killer Instinct was mis-managed from the get go.
In saying that, it's a very solid title today, probably one of the better fighters of this generation in my opinion.
