You do realise FF7 was originally going to be for the SNES and then the N64 right? It was because of the generation changes it never made it to the SNES and cartridge restrictions it ended up on the PS1.

What does that have to do with this thread? He is talking aobut the power of the winning consoles in comparison with the losing consoles.

The point is obvous: it is not cut-and-dry to say that PS1 was the least powerful. This theory has been debunked many times.

Cd Tech enabled it to be what it was. That's the point. MGS wasn't even thought of until Kojima heard about what it could do. Least powerful does not guarantee win.

Not entirely true, current Nintendo president at the time also had supposed "problems" that caused a falling out with squaresoft which was another factor often cited.

As far as genesis vs snes...
SNES ran on a 21.47 MHz processor with 64 kb of audio and 64kb of video ram
Genesis ran on a 7.67 MHz processor with 2 kb of "boot ROM" 64 kb of main ram 64kb of video ram and 8 kb of audio ram.
