"could" vs "had". What part of that didn't you understand?
Again, you "countered" with the very point I made. The SNES and Mega Drive don't have video connectors. RF and A/V plugs are the only options. I wasn't claiming that the Amiga didn't have those plugs. I was pointing out that the other systems didnt.
No matter what you think, the Amiga is not a video game console. It is a gaming PC (although a very good one). Comparing them is what I object to, as it twists facts to suit a point that isn't even relevant to the point of discussion you are responding to.
Of course the Amiga 500 would have a faster processor than the SNES, even the first model (although the first model came out three years before, not five. The Amiga 500 launched in '87, and the Super Famicom launched in Japan in '90).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
