Do you think this is the most interesting console generation so far?

Gen 4 - A rather close battle between 2 major competitors not far off from one another with the presence of some minor competitors.  There was a lot of in-fighting between Sega and Nintendo (mosstly on Sega's part), but there were a lot of missteps by Sega and ALL of the minor competitors.  Hell, Ninty had some missteps too.  It wasn't a dominated generation, per say, but in the end the Genesis only looked good against the SNES because it had a significantly earlier launch.

Nintendo did a lot of nasty infighting as well. Reffer to the 1994 ads for Donkey Kong Country where they slam every "next gen" consoles and sega for selling hardware which can't do what donkey kong does and the 1993 sports games ad, where they attack genesis for being inferior "paddle" compared to Snes being a speed motor boat.

Yeah, ther was that one add during their whole "Play it loud" campaign where they went after Sega pretty hard, calling the Blast Processor a "blast of hot air" because it doesn't exist, and everything.  I went to school with my copy of EGM and my head held high!

*edit* You have no idea how much crap I had to google through to find this ad!
