Fair nuff, and would explain why there were SNES purists.

They were both 16-bit. Just snes had double the memory while sgen had double to triple the CPU speed. The sega was more balanced, if sound/music matters to you. Less graphically (mostly in colors) but it had a synth, hence the need for the better cpu, as well as good for graphics effects. That was one of the big selling points of the C64 years earlier, it too had a synth, and was phenomenal for it's day.

Most of the difference was more about the game selection. Sort of east vs west. I've never really been big into eastern style games, apart from like early zelda which was part of the reason I bought both.
