Nes Vs megadrive (7800 had no chance)

SNES vs Genesis vs Neo Geo vs turbo grafx 16

n64 vs vs Atari Jaguar saturn vs PS1

Ps2 vs Cube vs ecks bawcks

Wii vs EcksBawcks360 vs PS3

All the weakest consoles won the wars(Same with portable wars too). Coincidence? If that's not enough, the ones that won always had the weaker processors of their major competitors.

Not satisfied yet? All those consoles were the ones that hosted the Dragon Warrior/Quest games. The portables with dragon quests won too. Even more proof, DS is outselling the wii(Best selling console of it's gen) while the DS has the most Dragon Warrior games, and the wii only has a spinoff DW game(Which is why it's winning).

The PS3 and it stunning visual exclusives say otherwise. Your part right, as the PS2 was weaker last gen(hardware wise) and did better than the competition because of Sony's always top notch exclusives. I dont remember the differences of the older consoles growing up so i cant really comment on that.

PS1 is better than the N64, PS2 is better than Xbox and GameCube, Wii is better than 360 and PS3. That sounds about right. I guess gamers really are smart.

"Genesis" and "Mega Drive" are the same system. The Sega Master System was its predecessor.

Wii vs EcksBawcks360 vs PS3

All the weakest consoles won the wars(Same with portable wars too). Coincidence? If that's not enough, the ones that won always had the weaker processors of their major competitors.

Not satisfied yet? All those consoles were the ones that hosted the Dragon Warrior/Quest games. The portables with dragon quests won too. Even more proof, DS is outselling the wii(Best selling console of it's gen) while the DS has the most Dragon Warrior games, and the wii only has a spinoff DW game(Which is why it's winning).

You totally need to go back to console history school.

First of all, its very questionable saying SNES was "weaker" because it had a better GPU and perhaps more ram. Not only that, but you totally forgot to add NEC's console and the NEO GEO.

And how is Dreamcast just dismissed by you? It was in the console race, it died and it was the weakest of the 4.

Persistantthug

What are you talking about? Genesis was more powerful, it just couldn't handle 256 colors like the SNES. Eh, you're probably an SNES fanboy who can't handle the 32 bit blast processing.

Alright, 7800 and dreamcast are not subject to this because they were heavily affected by Executive meddling. The 7800 hundred was supposed to be a beast, the leviathan of the gaming world, when it was announced in 1984. In 1984, Atari went under new management and the 7800 was pushed back to 1986, where it made very little impact compared to if it had been released even a year earlier.

Fine, I'll admit the dreamcast's being dismissed by me so easily was silly.

RadecSupreme

No. The PS1 had a ~34MHz CPU (not sure about the GPU, but it was certainly slower), 2MB of system memory and 1MB of video memory. N64's had a 93.75MHz CPU and a 62.5MHz GPU, and 4MB of RAM (without the expansion pak).

2 things 1. I thought Snes was more powerful than Genesis? 2. So we only define console winners by sales? Wii is def the worst gen leader.

No. The PS1 had a ~34MHz CPU and 2MB of main RAM (not sure about the GPU, but it was certainly slower than the CPU). N64's had a 93.75MHz CPU, 4MB of RAM, and a 62.5MHz GPU.

Then how did PS1 have better graphics plus the CGI?

Better graphics is subjective. CGI was because of the discs.

Primary because it used CDs. Those gave you a lot of room for textures and video clips. Plus the N64 had a tiny texture buffer IIRC. To be fair N64 games did typically look "smoother"; the hardware could push many more polygons.

I'm not sure I would call the Saturn "stronger" than the PS1. The N64 was also debilitated by it's cartridge format.

I don't know what you're talking about at all.

Nintendo prevented a lot of developers from deciding to develop for the system by opting out of discs. That's why Nintendo went from having the greatest JRPG library out of all the consoles to an abysmal JRPG library.

You can have an amazing console with revolutionary gaes but bad marketing, or apretty goodconsole and have bill gates throw money at everyone to get exclusive rights to everything under the sun. Just because a console sells more doesnt make it better, i mean cmon, brittney spears sells a ton of records but is she an great singer? And as far as the Wii goes... its "fun" to play with but not enough for a serious gamer.

actually , ,2 gens

they were just as powerful or more poweful -nes and sms=8bit

snes -16 bit but was able to top it with super fx chip had better audio to then genesis

since ps1` is when the least powerful console is the winner ,

handhelds have always been the least powerful winners, except gba which had little to no pressure
