Those of us of a certain age were (unless you were in the computer scene ala Commodore, Atari, MS-DOS) Mario kids first given what the industry was like after Atari exited (though not fully) and concentrated on computers for a few years in the mid-80s. When Mario came out, it really was a total mind blow.

However, when the Genesis was being pushed hard with the intro of Sonic, those of us of a certain age were now in our teens and the ad campaigns done by Sega during that time really made some of us dump Nintendo as the "kiddie" console. This happened to me. Hardcore Mario guy and defended him on the playground against my rich friend who had a Genesis off the bat (not to mention a NeoGeo). But once Mortal Kombat came out and the Genesis got the "good" version (i.e. BLOOD and FATALITIES), my brother and I pooled our birthday, Xmas, and other money to get a Genesis that came with Sonic 2, a rebate form for Sonic 1, and Mortal Kombat. And that turned me into a Sonic guy for the 90s.

Nowadays, I like them both equally.
