There was supposedly a huge gap between the SNES and Genesis, with the latter supposedly having a tie ratio over double that of the SNES, this despite both systems having the same software prices ($50-70/game). And this is despite a dollar being worth at least twice what it's worth now. |
I find this extremely strange. SNES's game library is twice the size and is generally hailed as the superior one. Why were some developers/publishers obsessed about making SNES exclusives when Sega's policies were more 3rd party friendly and their console supposedly sold a lot more software? I just don't get it. Did everyone just assume SNES was going to absolutely domimate based on NES's performance? A lot of moneyhatting is probably involved that Sega couldn't hope to match, but still, nothing like this happened since.
