    I think you'll find that the Mega Drive outsold the PC Engine. In Europe, the Mega Drive was a huge success.

    He never said Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis, he explicity called Nintendo's 16 bit console the Super Famicom. So unless he's the type that views everything in videogaming that is different internationally than in Japan as automatically inferior (Including something like a console name) and uses a console name that isn't utilized in his region as a result, I made the only assumption I could that he was talking about the Japanese marketplace. The only region where those two console names were both utilized was there.

    So the only logical thing I could assume was he was just talking about the Japanese marketplace, where the MegaDrive was a distant third in the market, millions behind the PC Engine.

    I only own the American consoles, but I still refer to the Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Turbo Grafx by their Japanese names. I just think they sound better (though lately I've been using both PC Engine and Turbo Grafx).

    Back on topic. I've been considering selling my Wii on numerous occasions, but I put a lot of money into Virtual Console shortly after launch, and No More Heroes 2 is coming out, so I can't sell it. Not too mention, it was my first console launch, so there's sentimental value as well.
