I have to humbly disagree. Despite the head start Sega had with the
Genesis, the SNES debuted and immediately was a contender. Both the Genesis
and the SNES thrived during the 16-bit heyday, so I don't really see how
you can say that Nintendo "stumbled" with the SNES. I happen to believe
that the SNES is one of the best systems as far as its volume of quality
software is concerned.

On this particular point I happen to agree with you. The Sega CD was
overhyped and was, ultimately, a very poor system, despite having a handful
of excellent games (Popful Mail and Sonic CD come to mind).
