Everyone has their own preferences. It's like the Android vs iOS of Mac vs PC thing. A company or product that survives isn't necessarily better. Think about VHS vs Betamax or Video 2000 (VHS survived and won, but was the worst of the three), or HD-DVD vs BluRay (HD-DVD was just as good, but failed commercially). Think about Sharp, who is a minor player, but makes the best LCD with their expensive Elite-series, and is known for making the most reliable tech. We perceive Sharp as a B-brand mostly, but in Japan, it's the brand with the national pride like Philips is in the Netherlands. Philips however doesn't have any real competition in the Netherlands, while Sharp does in Japan.
Lot's of great, innovative companies and product failed compared to inferior ones. So the corporate success isn't a proper measuring staff, unless you're talking about corporate survival. Not corporate success, because one can also talk about image, innovation, several subjective variables, etc.
In the 80s and 90s, Sega kids had as much pleasure from their consoles as the Nintendo kids did, and lot's of kids thought their system was the best, which was also the reason why they got it (or asked for it). The Dreamcast basically failed commercially, but is recognized as the greatest system from that generation by many.

Sega doesn't hate Nintendo, but, in the 80s-90s, they did have a little rivalry, and people have to choose between which console to buy, Nintendo's console, or Sega's console. Now, Nintendo has let Sega use Mario and many other Mario characters in a few different Mario and Sonic Olympic crossovers.
From 1989 to 1996, SEGA and Nintendo were at each others throats. After SEGA left the hardware business in 1999-2000 holiday season, Nintendo agreed to let them help the design games. They recently released a couple games for the PC.
Because Nintendo and SEGA are competing companies, it is assumed that Mario and Sonic should fight each other.
no because Sega joined Nintendo after Sega released their last attempt to stay in the game business when they made the Sega dream cast in 1999 + if you have a Wii go to the Wii shop channel and click on virtual consoles and then click on systems and scroll down and you will see Sega
Nintendo because they've always made more money and games. Then Sega ended up making games for Nintendo.
Reasons why Nintendo is better company: 1. SEGA only designs games now, Nintendo still makes both consoles and games. 2. Nintendo was founded in 1889 and had business experience. When SEGA released the master system, they were 25-30 years old. Nintendo was 100. 3. SEGA ended up getting kicked out of the console business and went to work for their former enemy.
Nintendo any day. well, just in my opinion.
No the super nintendo is more powerful.
Nintendo got it right, not Sega
Sonic is a Sega creation and was for a long time the major rival for Nintendo's Mario.

people commonly refer to the "Nintendo Entertainment System", Nintendo's first video game system as the NES. The Sega Genesis was Sega's second video game system (second outside of Japan anyway) following the Sega Master System.

Mega drive is better in many ways. The design is awesome, has a headphone jack, and you can plug a sega cd or 32x in it and play cd and 32x games. Even the controller is better. It is small and has a nice grip. The cartrages are smaller and can fit in somebodys hand. You even get better graphics!
