Graphically SNES destroyed Genesis.  The color palette was night/day.  And the music in games like Trigger and VI was just a generation ahead of the Genesis.  The SNES controller was far superior, with a button layout/should buttons that are still used today.  

Graphically the Neo Geo was unmatched...  but good God the prices of those cartridges.

For the time period Genesis 6 button made more sense to match arcade games. Now the only 6 button controllers we see are fight pads. I think for games like FPS it would make more sense now for controllers without macro back buttons.
