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.

Yeah misinformation about console power was and still is rife. The GC was already more powerful than the PS2 and the Wii is basically a Gamecube Pro, yet people in the 7th gen still insisted that the Wii was on par with the PS2.

Same thing this gen, with many insisting the Switch was on par with PS3/360 despite mountains of software demonstrating it outperformed them.

Usually it's just people believing what they want to believe and downplaying the "enemy" brand to prop up the one they prefer.

What's really odd about that is that there were plenty of games that released on both the PS2 and the Wii where the Wii had substantially better graphics than the PS2 versions, like Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Sonic Unleashed, and The Force Unleashed.
