The SNES in North America took a very long time to catch up to the Genesis, mostly due to a late start.
The NES sold poorly early on, but a lot of that had to do with retailers not wanting to take a chance on it, and a much smaller games market overall.
The PS1 didn't sell great the first year or so, but still led for the whole generation.
