It's sad to see the Genesis/Mega Drive get so few votes. With the SNES vote at 81.48%, I bet it's because of Square and the newfound interest in everything Square post-FF7. Back in those days, Nintendo's market share sure as hell wasn't 80+% so gamers who grew up with a SNES aren't the only ones contributing to that high vote percentage. The Genesis was very popular at the time (competitive in North America and it won Europe and Brazil). But ever since FF7, it's been cool to praise Square as the second coming of Christ so it doesn't surprise me that Genesis fans would bandwagon jump post-FF7 and younger gamers who didn't grow up gaming in that 16-bit era (1989-1994) but grew up with FF7 and PS1 instead would choose the console with the Square games.
