I tend to think people really started to talk specs around the time of the 16-bit era.
the Fifth generation:
3DO Interactive Multiplayer - Atari Jaguar - Amiga CD32 - Sega Saturn - Sony PlayStation - Nintendo 64
32bit vs 64bit!!

From a Console only perspective, I'd say Gen and SNES. SEGA and Nintendo continuously touted their power benefits over each other.
As did many other consoles that came out at that same time frame.
The arrogance of it started when Genesis and Snes launched. Nintendo competed, or won, most of these fights. The Wii finished the argument.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I thought the SNES was part of Nintendo's response to the MegaDrive... so it really started with NES vs. Megadrive (Sega came along and started saying NES was outdated in comparison)

That's really when I remember it becoming such a big deal.
