I thought they were talking about the coprocessor to handle graphics that the Genesis has. I can't say whether or not it is really better than the SNES because I just got my Genesis and have only seen a few games on either system. Chances are if I really get into these games, I'll get an SNES. It isn't much more than a single game anyways... and a lot of people probably agree.
If I had only an SNES tho, I would have been offended and probably NEVER buy a Genesis. In fact, I'm a little embarrassed by it because I don't think comparing a top fuel drag car to a clunky milk truck (or whatever) is appropriate. It isn't that I find anything morally wrong or anything, but it is soooo overexagerrated that it is impossible to believe, so you begin to think they are lying. But then again, I'm not in the ideal target market so I don't buy into a bunch of "we don't want to show you more t
han 1/32 of a second so you can't see what it really looks like" advertising.
