I think Sega Genesis was superior to SNES in every way I could think of...

SNES was ok, but I loved my Sonic way too much.

As for Xbox vs GCN... Well, lets just say Xbox has my #1 and #2 most anticipated games of this generation. (Halo 2 and Perfect Dark 0)

GCN if anything was a step down from N64 and a huge dissapointment in my eyes. Xbox isn't all that great either, but it did FAR better than my expectations while Nintendo did FAR worse than my expectations.

So, I gotta give that battle to Xbox. In raw quality, I say they are equal, but it's like a senior in HS (Nintendo) being equal to a freshman (Microsoft)... who's the better player?

-EDIT-

Oh, and as for the topic on where I think MS will end up... um, I think in the end they will be on top of Nintendo. Why? Because they are taking extra steps to make all Xbox owners happy. The only problems with Xbox are thing MS really have no control over (like Square developing for them)... Nintendo, on the other end, is more worried about making money, and games is where most of thier money lies.

If PSP takes out GBA (even though it's doubtful) Nintendo is doomed unless somthing changes. Thier popularity with there big franchises has only been going down. Also, imo, and in all of my friends, and in all of the people I know offline who loved N64's opinion, the game quality has gone down.

Changing franchises isn't the smartest move imo, there are no more fun WWE games, no more Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, no more moody Zelda, Mario has a squirt gun and a camera that got worse than the first 3d game like that on the market... That smahes most of thier top selling 1st/3rd party games. But we all got our Mario Kart and Smash Brothers so it's all good right

I think Nintendo could make a comeback, but them failing yet again with the Gamecube may be the thing that spirals them to thier death.
