Yes, one game on launch window compilation is clearly a hardware pusher.

Sold me a PSX, anyway. Rented that and I think Ridge Racer on launch day. Between those and the disc with the T-Rex demo on it, Sony made a sale.

All I know is that, as late as the Dreamcast era (and probably after, I stopped paying attention to those crazies eventually), the hardcore Neo-Geo supporters were still championing their hardware because of the supposedly inferior ports of games. If anything SNK was botching them on purpose.
I was an ardent NG supporter, but I don't think it is even possible to have a Neo Geo-like system today. Even if someone makes a super crazy system that can push billions of polygons with all types of shader/effects/whatever, it will take several years for PC tech to catch up simply because the technology moves so fast. So the system will be obsolete in 5 or so years, nowhere near as long as NG that still looked impressive 10+ years into its life.
Maybe PS3 is the next NG
I agree with that. I don't mean the longevity as much as I do the relative power. So I am thinking of Neo Geo 1991-1996 or so, not Neo Geo 1991-2007.
I was thinking more along 1990 to 2000. I recall games started to look really dated around 2000 or so.
