Unfortunately, superior hardware means nothing without spectacular games EXCLUSIVE to the console.
Remember the Dreamcast? Or a bit more close to home, the CD32 with it's mediocre CDTV/A500 ports...
Right now in console sales/ownership more people flock to the PS2 rather than the superior consoles like GameCube and X-Box. Why? Backwards compatability with the thousands of PS1 games and exclusive rights to GTA3, as well as the majority of top selling new games always getting a PS2 port unlike rivals NGC and M$X-box.
Superior hardware in a console without good games is useless..I guess we wait and see, but I don't expect much.
