Also,  Earthbound is only co-owned by Nintendo similar to Pokemon.  Reggie said Nintendo doesn't really own the franchise.

They don't own IP doesn't mean they don't completely own rights to the first game. I really doubt anyone whose game was funded by Nintendo could even think about releasing it on the other platforms in the 90s. And of course they signed some deal which made it impossible for them to do so. It's like for example Sunset Overdrive situation. Insomniac has rights to IP but they can't release the first game on any platform without Microsoft's permission.

The Saturn was more powerful than early 5th gen systems like the Jaguar and 3DO, the Master System was more powerful than the NES, and the Megadrive was more powerful than the Turbografx-16.

All those consoles you're comparing it to besides the NES are irrelevant. You might as well bring up Tiger game watch.

JFYI. Turbografx-16 was more popular than MegaDrive in Japan. It outsold Sega console.
