Why do people become fans of inferior consoles? Is it low-self esteem? Masochism? Or just plain bad taste?

You've got it wrong bubba. This was the NeoGeo of 8-bit machines.

This. PC Engine was actually #1 in Japan sales for that gen, NEC just fucked up everything when marketing it for America. I've got a TG16+CD and about 30 games and there's several I played where I thought "holy shit if this was released on the NES it would've been a household name today"

Different strokes for different folks. I feel like what system you like can come down to whatever the concentration of genres on that system is, soundchip, looks, etc. Some people just love underdogs too. I for one automatically attached myself to the Sega Saturn during my early teens for some reason, don't really know why aside from I love the way 3D looks on it. Either way retro gaming is all about bringing us joy and a sense of peace from the past

Amiga has better games.

It's crazy when you look at all the Sega, Capcom, Konami, Taito and Tecmo games that never made it to the US. NEC wanted it to fail here.
