The SNES didn't have a bad start. It actually had a very good start--it's just that it came out 2 years after it's main competition, the Genesis/Mega Drive. The only thing is that Sega had managed to snatch up a lot of the buyers befroe the SNES came out. At that time, Sega's headstart was a major factor in their success.
Unfortunately, it rather led them to believe that's what they needed to do over the next two generations, and it backfired terribly with the Saturn.
The SNES broke from the starting line at a pretty good clip.
