And then some of them got GBAs because of the RPGs! Thus the older-GBA market isn't just Nintendo fans as you claimed.

When the PSX released, the Genesis had a much larger worldwide market share than the Snes did. Snes didn't overtake Genny until 1997 after two of it's highest selling years in the market.

Where did you get that information from??

The Genesis was ahead before the SNES came out, and once the SNES launched in 1991 Sega and Nintendo were pretty much even for several years, with Nintendo having a slight edge in worldwide sales. At least, that is the truth according to Steve Kent's history of gaming book.
