Yes, you are right, but it's just so sad.
The SNES contains 8-channel 8-bit sound, about 500*500*256 gfx (dunno
the exact resolution), a fairly powerful bitmap scaler/rotator
+ the processor (what processor is it anyway?) and the rest.
Before the GUS you wouldn't even get a decent 4-channel PC-soundcard
for the same price - doesn't that stink?!?!
