It was more feasible than people make out. Just looking at the size of the MAME roms for those games. (Not one that is bigger than the 64MB of Resident Evil). Tekken 3 is 30MB which is one of the biggest. Most are below 15MB.

Clearly the Genesis won. Let's see the SNES try and do this.
The first time I saw this, I though it was a vacuum cleaner. Totally agree that Sega Genesis was ahead of its time, though. The only problem is that so was Atari, and they got beat out by basically everything else as time went on. IMO, Sega just shouldn't have released Sega CD and 32x, instead just moving more carefully onto Saturn, and not pushing out Dreamcast until 2000 or 2001, then they would have kept up easier.
They needed something to compete with SuperFX + SA-1. But they didn't put the video output pins into the expansion port of the Megadrive. The Chip Virtua Racing used cost loads to make.
The MegaCD needed better video hardware not another CPU.
The PC Engine CD didn't fail because it had good software.

If we're talking purely from a sales perspective, the SNES was the winner. Doesn't really matter though. That gaming generation was excellent as a whole.

It's OK to have an opinion. This ain't the Soviet Union you know. Letterboxd Youtube Channel
Honestly, the real winner was the bankers. It's always the bankers.
In seriousness, SNES was the king of the home console genres and Sega was the king of the arcade genres back then. Which one you preferred came down to which style of gaming was your preference.
