I remember seeing this commercial & badly wanting the Spider Man game & saying "maybe i'll get streets of rage too". I ended up liking Streets of Rage 100x more than Spider Man. In fact, SM used to frustrate the hell outta me while SOR used to get major replay on my Genesis.
It wasn't just the Saturn. The 32x and to a lesser extent Sega CD were both colossal failures. By the time Saturn came out this was just par for the course.
lol why do people give you negative's when all you said was "i used to have sega genesis when i was a kid"
That's messed up.
Also, TBH, I think Sega CD didn't fail.
It sold 6 million, it was only an add on after all, and it has a fair share of amazing games with amazing graphics for the time, like Batman Returns (with 4 different endings!) and Keio Flying Squadron, and Silpheed (the best polygon shooter of it's era)
Sega CD did respectable for what it was, and how much it cost.
I know this is a little late but because its one of my favorite games ever I feel that I got to tell you. I have played at least 14 diffrent spider-man games to about 7 diffrent consoles, and I got to say that this is the best spider-man game ever made! It have good graphics and sound, an ok music, good controlls and It have some chalange to it. Its not a baby game like most spider-man games are. You should play this on a real mega drive (genesis). Its morphinominal!
Your argument is rather like asseverating that VHS sales don't "count" once LD was introduced (itself about as successful as Sega's post-Genny projects).
Or, put more accurately, once the Genesis is no longer in the lead, it's time to call the game and retroactively assert that the last time they DID have the lead was the end of the match.
Ridiculous.
Further, Nintendo turned the tides not in 95 but in 94. I.E. Donkey Kong Country, MKII, Super Metroid, et cetera.
There's a lot of factors involved in the 16 bit wars... profit, market share, and of course the games themselves.
Genesis began strong, and SNES ended strong... beyond that I'd need to look at a bunch of numbers and take a good look back at which games stood the test of time best.
I loved Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Sonic, Alex Kidd, etc, but my gut feeling is that SNES left the better legacy in retrospect.
Unfortunately, Japan and the US were really the only markets that mattered back then. Brazil doesn't really matter on the global stage when it comes to GDP...or much of anything else.
Anyway, to the main point, SNES won both America and Japan. Game over.
SNES had sales in excess of 50 million. The Genesis sold around 29 million.
@Muffincakeswithsugar Sorry for responding so late. I hardly remember my comment on here. I've had a Genesis since 2005. My big brother had one in the 90s.

You still don't know what you're talking about.
Just for starters, the 32X and Saturn were released within weeks of each other...just in separate hemispheres.
The US saw the release of the 32X in November 94, whereas Japan sold through initial shipments of SS in early Dec of the same year.
Further, Nintendo reversed market trends in 94 and never really looked back thereafter.
Nintendo had clearly won the 16-bit wars well before the decade was over.
Quit typing with your ass.
