The power of a system is highly over valued, especially in this day and age where the Wii U seems capable of doing anything I've seen from the PS4 and X Box One. Graphics are no longer impressive like they used to be.
Overall Power doesn't matter but the difference in power does. As soon as it became financially inefficient to make ports things started to fall apart. You could make the same exact game with some changes on the Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox, so it worked....but the GC still got trounced. Nintendo shifted gears, created a less powerful console and after Year 2, everyone abandoned the system or put "lesser" games on it rather than ports. All the while....Porting games to the Xbox and PS2. It was ridiculous.
Nintendo HAS to be within the Port Range and then it still has a ton of work to do to lure 3rd parties back.

This is well said. 1080p vs 900p isn't that important but mass differences like Nintendo does completely changes games.
