Yes. And it's not even close. Even the PSX, as good as its lineup was, wasn't in the same universe as the SNES in terms of RPG's.

PSX RPGs I loved:
FFVII
FFVIII

not even in the same universe?

not sure how you could use such hyperbole when it could be argued that the PSX was in fact the superior system for RPGs

and that's not even counting the fact that some of the best SNES RPGs were ported onto the PSX (although Its probably not fair to consider ports in this discussion)
