zelda would be steak, while pokemon is just a hamburger.

Zelda is a $5 steak, pokemon is a $5 hamburger. They're not the same thing and snobs want the steak anyway but they're the same value.

There is much more game design work in any Zelda or any Mario made by Nintendo EAD than in any Pokemon. Gamefreak was never a Nintendo studio and never made Nintendo EAD quality games.

Yet sales say otherwise. In a month by month breakdown of 94, they were basically tied all year, with the SNES beginning to take the lead the following year once again. Everything shows Nintendo outselling Sega from late 92 on when looking at sales by year. Not exactly sega crushing Nintendo unless crushing has a new meaning

In the US, Sega had 60% of the market share at their peak in 93 vs Nintendo's 37%. I wouldn't call that nothing for a small time company competing against the only giant in video games at the time

btw japan didn't give a fuck about the genesis or sonic if you're adding in those sales. That's what this drama between SoA and SoJ was mostly about

Who do you call a small time company and who do you call a giant? Because Sega was much larger than Nintendo back then (and still is today, not in sales but in size).
