The Genesis was the "in" thing with "edgy" games. The NES was outdated, the SNES just pushed "kiddie" games. Nintendo was "doomed" because the Genesis managed to briefly outsell it in the early 90s. Where have you seen that movie before?
The mainstream press was actually dismissive of Nintendo and Sega (and even the PlayStation for its first couple of years) as kids' toys. Meanwhile, they gushed over "adult" CD-ROM "interactive movies" which were generally glorified point-and-click games starring washed-up actors, and the acting in those games made it evident why those actors were washed up. :)
