Don't forget the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and its "blast processing". If I recall correctly the Genesis / Mega Drive had a better CPU than the SNES, but the SNES was more powerful in every other way. 

Xbox and GameCube were a fair amount more powerful than the PS2. I remember Sony saying the Emotion Engine would give the console Shrek like graphics. 

That's why I'm wary. Aside from PS2 games looking like "Shrek" and "Toy Story", they also said it would take a decade for PC gaming to catch up to the PS2. They had people believing that the PlayStation 2 would be some kind of cheap supercomputer that terrorists would buy and launch nuclear missiles! I'm not exaggerating. They said PS2 games would be like entering the Matrix. (Ken Kutaragi was insane!) 

After so many examples like this, I'm just waiting to see what the PS5 and Xbox SX are actually going to do. Hype only leads to disappointment.

As silly as that is if I'm not wrong Irak or the likes bought PS2 and PS3 to put on their weapons due to being banned from buying weaponry level stuff.
