" In total, the Sega Genesis contains 10 channels which was 2 more than the SNES's S-SMP"
Not only that, but the genesis runs games at a higher resolution and pushes more sprites.
It's okay, I get it, you've been watching too many early 00s youtubers spouting findings like "nintendo saved the gaming industry", "atari created a worldwide videogame crash" and "The Sega Genesis hardware is inferior to the SNES in everything except the CPU"
But I regret to inform you, all of those are myths. Nintendo did not save the industry, the game crash was only in north america and the genesis has quite a few advantages over the SNES in terms of hardware like resolution, sound channels, number of sprites and overall versatility.

@impurekind oh wow I forgot about this arguement
Anyway, you DO realize that out of the entire SNES library only ONE game runs at 512x448, right?
Man, poor Super Nintendo just can't catch a break. Fewer sound channels, lower resolution. Is there ANYTHING the snes does right?

The Genesis has 10 sound channels, in fact here's a link from the videogame music preservation foundation: http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title=Genesis#Music_and_Sound

@impurekind you're going to have to give me a better source than an INCREDIBLY biased wordpress link.

@impurekind Not true. The Megadrive outsold the SNES in Europe, South America and Australia, which is where all these projects are coming from.
In fact, if you remove Japan's sales, you'll quickly come to the conclusion that the SNES and Megadrive sold roughly the same worldwide.
Maybe it's time to accept that the Genesis is more popular than you think?
