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.

Interesting, I actually didn't know that.

They're still consoles of the same generation, so to say Sega's were the weakest of their gen isn't accurate.

Even then it's not as black and white.
The Genesis had a CPU that was ahead of the SNES and typically had the advantage in memory transfers.

The Graphics and Audio side of the equation definitely fell in favour towards the Super Nintendo, games link Donkey Kong Country 2 was evidence of that... Nintendo's choice of hardware just had a better bang-for-buck than Sega's attempts.

Speaking of which, didn't Saturn and Dreamcast similarly have some hardware advantages over PS1 and PS2 respectively?
