Well Atari couldn't have made the Lynx and Jaguar otherwise, even if those did lose them that money. Also, the Street Fighter II story is a bit off. According to Capcom's page of million sellers (http://ir.capcom.co.jp/english/data/million.html), the SNES Street Fighter II games outsold the Genesis games, but still having the games on the Genesis was a major help to Sega. |
You are right and the author is a bit off on PC Engine graphic capabilites too :
" [...]and the Turbografx's 8-bit processor with supporting graphics chips that NEC falsely advertised as a 16-bit core. "
Indeed PC Engine GPU was a 16 bit chip and games like Soldier Blade prove it.
Quite frankly , I think that Genesis/Megadrive was a good system but Snes is simply unachievable ( I'm refering to games not harware itself ).
