Catchy adverstising and campaigns suggesting SNES was slower than Genesis had some mocking the Nintendo cosole. Then with great third party support and the launch of Donkey Kong Country SNES surged ahead and didn't look back. I consider a 3rd to 1st comeback to be significantly bigger than a 3rd to 3rd or maybe 2nd comeback. SNES went from being mocked to dominance. PS3 went from being mocked to respectable. |
DKC came out in 1994...Genesis/Megadrive had been on the market since 1988...No matter the difference DKC made (which it did), it was right at the end and hardly that relevent.
There is simpy no sensible parallel to be drawn though anyway with current PS3/Xbox 360 situation. I mean sure you could make a link somwhere but then we share most of our DNA with monkeys...so what.
