So it seems.  I've also read that hardware-wise, the only real advantage the Genesis had over the SNES was a higher CPU clock speed.  Otherwise, the SNES had better technical specs in other areas.

One thing I think was interesting about cartridge-based consoles was that cartridges allowed game developers to include additional processor chips inside their game cartridges if they wanted.  I heard Starfox had a processor chip in its cartridge that was some sort of graphics processor, which helped with the 3D graphics in the game.  I think I heard F-Zero used it too.
