Also the Genesis was pretty competitive with the SNES when it came to non RPG games. If you wanted to play the good games you had to split between Genesis and SNES a lot of the time (with the SNES often having pussified versions of the genesis games, see Mortal Kombat 2). The PS1 finally broke the barrier of political correctness Nintendo had imposed on the industry. I remember the first time I saw Cid say shit in FFVII or heard someone say it in wing commander it was such a shock after playing Nintendo systems for 12 years. We would never have the breadth of awesome adult games like Bioshock and Grand Theft Auto on consoles if Sony hadn't broken the political correctness stranglehold Nintendo had. |
If I recall, the original Mortal Kombat on the SNES was the "pussified version". The Genesis Mortal Kombat sold more than the SNES one. But when Nintendo didn't censor the blood in Mortal Kombat 2, it sold more on SNES.
