All the people saying "It won't happen till after it no longer matters" got incredibly annoying after a while. Do people consider SNES the loser of the 16-bit era? |
To be honest, until about a year ago, I did think the SNES was the sales loser (despite the fact that the Snes was the only console I owned at the time). It was sort of recognized by most of the magazines I read at the time that, until the PS2 came out, no company had EVER won two gens in a row. There was also the myth (which I still stand behind, since Neo Geo and others came out during that era) that the most powerful console never wins in a generation, either. I was shocked to find out that the SNES actually wound up beating the Genesis. I'm glad the console with the better games wound up winning in the end, though.
