Nintendo didn't start making "underpowered" consoles for the generation they release in until the Wii. So three console generations over 16 years of their 39.5 year console history.
My perspective is a bit different, they've been intentionally making underpowered (as both a cost to them/consumer and portability issue) since the get go:
The SNES, N64, Gamecube are the oddballs, the experiments, not the norm/baseline
