Lagging specs don't matter much to a game console.  Consoles are locked
environments: once the specs are set they're set for the life of the
console.  This ensures that the first and last consoles off the lines
will run all of the same games.  If last year's model won't run this
year's games then you've killed yourself.

A console needs a continually growing library of good games that people
want to play.  If the console has the games then people will buy it
regardless of technical specs.  If it doesn't then they won't.  Nintendo
DS (it prints money) vs. Sony PSP.
