I mentioned SNES vs Megadrive in an earlier post, and yeah, that was a case where SNES had basically every advantage except CPU speed, so the Sega crowd latched onto the one thing Megadrive did better.

I believe it was Toy Story that Sony bragged about matching on the PS2, but yeah, once again, just marketing BS, like their claims that the Cell was a supercomputer chip that would deliver graphics on par with those infamous fake Killzone 2 and Motorstorm trailers.

As a 5 year old I was hooked on blast processing and SEGA does what Nintendon't. Looking back it was really stupid, but effective for a kid. I still love 2D Sonic games to this day. Sonic Mania blew me away after waiting 15 years for a new good 2D Sonic. I'm playing Super Mario World for the very first time now thanks to my Switch. 

Yeah childish as they were and are, I have to admit there was fun to be had in the ol' spec wars. I spent more than a little of my late teens and early twenties arguing against those claiming Wii wasn't more capable than 6th gen systems... and then Wii U vs PS3/360. XD
