Sega outsold SNES from 1991 to 1994 in the US. By that year, Genesis and Sega had more marketshare than Nintendo in that territory. By the end of the year, when DKC dropped, Sega of Japan had already abandoned ship and foolishly started trying to push the Saturn because they were worried Sony and Nintendo would get the drop on them if they waited. This caused everything to collapse, along with the lead the Genesis and Sega had accomplished. We all know how the rest of the story goes.
I have some paper work from an analysis firm dealing with sales on a hard drive somewhere, and I think I remember the estimates were close to 40 million world wide with the bulk coming from the US.
