Great video by the Nerd. Best console war of all time!
Here's an interesting tidbit about the whole Nintendo vs. SEGA war... despite the magnitude of the 16-bit gen wars and the legendary battle that ensued and is still talked about today, we never actually got to see a head-to-head launch between a Ninty console and a SEGA console. SNES came almost a full 2 years after the Genesis, Game Gear came a year and a half after the GB, the Saturn with its premature launch more than a year before the N64, and the Dreamcast with another early launch more than 2 years before the GC was released.
I always wondered who would bring home the bragging rights if they had both launched a new console at roughly the same time, and how it would pan out for the rest of that generation. After the 16-bit gen, by the time Nintendo go around to releasing their next two consoles, both SEGA consoles were already dead in the water thanks to Sony.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
