PS3 at 24 million units sold, PSP 57 million

A vast lot of the Super Famicom/SNES games were released across both platforms though...

That's not actually true though, is it? Most Super Famicom games were exclusives, as were most Mega Drive games. Of the games that had bi-platform releases, only a few were any good

Sure, both had great games, but the Mega Drive seemed to have better quality control regarding games releases.

Then again, I like games that require raw skill, which means I don't care for RPGs, so I guess I'm ignoring quite a few of the titles that are considered to be "classics" for the Super Famicom. That, and also being a Sega fangirl, makes me a little partial towards the Mega Drive.

And if a game was multi-platform, more often than not, the MegaDrive version was superior. Even if you're going purely by exclusives, the MD wiped the floor with the SFC.

I'm a bit of a Sega fanboy but I never cared for the Mega Drive/Genesis. I always preferred SNES/SFC - I'm a huge Saturn/DC fan. There's no real reason for it though, I suppose, other than I played the hell out of the SNES back in grad school.

Back ON topic, I'm somehow surprised the PS3 sales are that high. I know piles of people with a 360 and/or Wii but few with a PS3 (other than myself). I wouldn't have one myself if I didn't get it for $250.
