Fact 3.) This one is incorrect. The SNES was indeed more powerful than the Genesis. Although the Genesis had a few advantages over the SNES, in overall system powerful, the SNES was more powerful. Remember mode7 on the SNES? The Genesis wasn't capable of that while maintaining good performance.

Fact 7.) If you win America and Erope, you can still win the console wars even if you lose Japan. As far as home consoles goes, Europe and America are much more important than Japan. Japanese home console sales are pathethic. Besides, western developers are targetign the west even if their games don't sell too well in Japan (Xbox 360).

Number 7 is an opinion, not a fact. Wait until the end of this generation and see how the Xbox 360 does. If it beats the PS3 despite losing Japan, then this is wrong. Ignore the Wii of course :D

 

    Well the third one is controversial. Snes was more powerful in terms of graphical capabilities but not the cpu. Its also a special case since it actually lost to Sega for the first 3 years, but Sega finally lost due to past and future mistakes, not the console itself (Sega CD, Sega 32 etc.)

 

   There is no console which was able to win GLOBALLY without Japan and America. Its theoretically possible, but I was not "reasoning" but speaking of experience. I didnt mean OVERALL. You can still have the most sales but its not going to be a domination like NES, PS1, PS2 or Wii. All leader consoles were Japanese made and dominated Japan and America. Sega Genesis was very successful in America and Europe but couldnt stay long, why? Because they never won Japan!
