Uh ... obviously you weren't gaming in the early 90s ... the SNES-Genesis console war was arguably the most fierce one the industry has seen, only one competetive console ... lol. The Genesis had many great games too and if anything Sony gets far too much credit, Sega really is the one that laid most of the ground work for the industry being aimed more at an older audience and changing how games were marketed. 

And? Genesis is only relevant because it was Sega's last console that survived a console cycle. I think the reason why people feel this way is nostalgia. Nostalgia plays a bigger role  during this period because that's your first (and likely fondest) memories of video games. I started gaming at the end of the 4th, start of the 5th for reference.

Sega Saturn?

The genisis had enough good games that made it worth owning. Was the only console my family had for the generation and we were happy. Would I call that generation the best ever? No but I'd put it above the 1st,2nd and 5th at least. Had I had a SNES I'd probably put it above the 3rd as well. You can't argue nostalgia for me, fist console I was playing on was an Atari, then the NES.
