Hate to tell you this but, the strongest console never won a generation.


Hate to tell you this but you forgot to put your tin foil hat on this morning, Also the SNES had more power and resources than the Megadrive, despite Sega's marketing spin the Motorola 68000 processor lacked game specific functions present in Nintendo's custom 5A22, despite the M68000 running at twice the speed of the 5A22 the porcessors maximum MIPS was 0.7 apposed to the 5A22's 1.5 MIPS, the overclocked M68000 used in the NeoGeo of the same console generation ran at a maximum 1.25 MIPS, too.

I really wish people would actually do some research before spouting the 'strongest console never won a generation' because it just shows how ill informed they are and makes them sound like absolute nutcases.

I believe Neo Geo was part of that gen and was much more powerful than SNES, not sure if Jaguar, CDi and 3DO were considered 4th gen

NeoGeo was way too expensive to be successful. It was an arcade platform made available to usual customers. Jaguar was more a competitor to psx and Saturn, CDi was never a competitor to anything, 3DO is also more considered to be in competition to Saturn and psx.

Ok thanks for the info, I wasnt exactly sure what gen they were considered.


They were intermediate ones, a lot like WiiU is now. But the sales were worse :)
