PS4

Xbox One

Switch

WiiU

PS3

Xbox 360

Xbox

Gamecube

PS2

Dreamcast

PSP (Leaving here, but not sure how it compares to Dreamcast.)

DS (Leaving here.  Not sure if above or below N64.)

N64

Saturn

PS1 (specs are weaker than N64, except CD format allows for FMVs and other tricks based on greatly superior file sizes)

Gameboy Advance (GBA is actually a 32-bit system with similar specs)

SNES

Genesis (Genesis had a better processor than SNES, but SNES was better in every other way)

PC-Engine/TG-16 (added this into the list)

Game Gear

Master System

NES

Gameboy Color (putting here, but placement is subjective.  It's a wasted power upgrade since it mostly just ran crappy looking Gameboy games in color)
