No, they won two generations and Nintendo won three as it stands today. You can't ignore consoles before Sony, unless you're a fan boy. But they have sold more home consoles overall, which is impressive given that Nintendo was around longer.

Nintendo may have won three gens, but the SNES didn't pull ahead of the Genesis until 1994 when Sega was shifting towards their next system.

According to the OP, sales are sales, including the PS3 overtaking the Wii in the same situation 

Oh I know, you're right. But most people don't realize that the SNES was NOT a dominant console and nearly lost.

 
Indeed.  Sega may have still won in the US or it was very close.  The SNES crushed in Japan though and that pushed it ahead worldwide.

Can't believe nobody said this yet, but the genesis came out 2 years before the SNES so yea it took them a little while to make up the difference and the genesis did pretty well.  Genesis was competing with the NES for quite a while not the SNES.
