Sega should have won in the end!

I thought they did?? Mario was created by Nintendo as a wholesome and friendly alternative to compete with the edgy and cool nature of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. The suits at Nintendo saw how popular Sonic was and decided to make a slower and less cool version for kids who were too intimidated by the fast paced gameplay of a Sonic game, or lacked the necessary platforming skills to play Sonic.

The Mario games were pretty good even if they were derivative from the Sonic franchise. Guess Mario was just never able to catch the limelight like Sonic and was doomed to remain #2 forever stuck in Sonic's shadow.
