"Unlike Nintendo, Sega can't live off of its own software."

Today this would be true...

However they could with the Genesis. In fact most of the gains Genesis made against Super nintendo was on the strength of Sega software. No one really supported it back in 1991-1992...

Sega's problem was that they always tried to reinvent the wheel and be the first one ont he scene. Turns out the round one worked just fine...


 You fail hard, go look at million seller list on this site and search for Sega's million seller on Sega console, then made the same search for Nintendo

Genesis had support from western developer in particolar from EA thanks to good business decision from SoA that made Genesis a viable platform in USA.
