Games are an inherently subjective medium; one man's trash is another man's treasure.
I prefer the SNES myself, but it's entirely possible for someone's personal tastes to align more closely with the Megadrive.
I mean, the PS2 sold like 7-8 times the Gamecube or Xbox and is widely considered the better console, but I personally enjoyed my Gamecube and my Xbox more than my PS2. It's all relative.
