> I'm always dubious of these claims. For some reason the marketing guys are always the key to the success, and nothing else barely matters. In these "documentaries" the hardware could have been terrible, hell they could have been selling bananas, but if the marketing would have just been tweaked a bit, it would all have worked out. IMHO, there can be multiple "keys" to success. The hardware has to be at least adequate (and IIRC, the Genesis beat the SNES to market by a couple years), and so does the marketing. I've never seen that documentary, but it's possible Sega's marketing for the Genesis was relatively better than average, compared to the hardware.
