It's common for Nintendo hardware to be underestimated; a lot of people claimed for instance that the Wii was on par with the PS2 or that the Switch was on par or even weaker than PS3/360, neither of which was true.

A friend of mine worked at Toys R Us at the beginnig of the 00s. When he told a costumer that the GC was more powerful than the PS2 he got into trouble. There where so many PS2 fanboys around at that time... many peoole till seriously believe that the GC was inferior to the PS2. Its the uneducated worker class and teenies.

Got tired back in the day explaining to my friends that the GC was more powerful. They simply could not believe me and brought up different games from the PS2 system as examples of the graphical capabilities and pointed to the "awful" graphics of Zelda Wind Waker of all games on the GameCube. I was very much a Nintendo fanboy back then and got annoyed when Resident Evil 4 released on PS2 as well. But being able to compare the graphics from the GameCube Version with the PS2 version finally shut one of them up.
