No and yes. No, in that the base SNES was weaker than the Genesis. Yes, in that the SNES, like the NES before it, was deliberately designed with weaker hardware specs, but with the option to access additional RAM and processing power found in some game cartridges. The FX Chip, for example, was an actual chip.
Technically the Genesis could do the same, but it was extremely cumbersome to to do, so only one very-late game ever took advantage of that.

Which played no direct role in that generation. That's like bringing up the 3DO vs the CD-i. |
Incorrect. The Turbo-Grafx was actually a bigger system in Japan than the Genesis, for example, and by a wide margin. It was very much a part of the SNES/Genesis generation, even if it didn't do so well in America.
