The Genesis has 16Bit emblazoned on the top of console. That could easily be the end of discussion right there, but the Genesis also pwns the PCE with its "High Definition Graphics". Even the PS3 and 360 can't compete with that. All this time I've been deluding myself that PCE games look as good as the Genesis, or the SNES, for that matter. The PCE has an 8Bit CPU and there's nothing left to discuss; it's simple math: 8 < 16. I don't mean to troll on a dedicated NEC forum, but the truth is the truth. It has taken many years of listening repeatedly to what I thought was misinformation to finally come to realize that it was I who was wrong.
