Well from what I've noticed, Nintendo fans tend to be more nerdy. They're the type that listens to pop, r&b or country. Sega fans on the other hand tend to be more edgy, either as edgy as a goth or a metalhead or as edgy as a black guy who listens to gangsta rap. I happen to be a Sega fan and my bestfriend is a Nintendo fan. We're very different from each other and yet we get along great. If we were video game characters, I'd be Sonic and he would be Mario.

Sega appealed to poor people, and people self conscious enough to fall for marketing hooks.

It's really hard to say because every time I try to think of an excuse, I keep seeing more and more similarities between the two.
>Nintendo is more family friend-
Maybe in terms of North America, but only for a brief period. Mortal Kombat II came out on SNES in all its bloody glory no problem. Super Metroid has corpses (with some blood on them, too) right on the title screen.
>Sega is more matur-
Sonic, Castle of Illusion, Fantasy Zone...
I dunno. As someone who grew up with both Mega Drive and Super Nintendo, I can't think of anything valid other than "people who are impressionable to certain marketing tricks", but even then, marketing was edgy for both Sega and Nintendo in USA, it was just the style in the west.
I don't think there was a real division between people who were wildly different in terms of psychological aspects until brands like playstation or xbox appeared.

Autism related to the games. Archie is pure, unfiltered autism, but it's officially licensed fanfiction of SatAM, a very loose adaptation. They both have nothing to do with the games aside from some characters and an occasional tie-in story.

This is needs to be said is an overlooked point I think.
The autism was always there mind you, generated by mostly by Archie and partly by SatAM, but you only got those if you searched out for them, side-material that only really officially permeated in one country. Sonic was still a platformer with a very minimal plot, but SA is where Sega decided to embrace homegrown autism and you got whole dialogue and plots and shit that screams B-level anime. Autism straight from Sega to your screen without a middleman like Archie, so obviously much more people are gonna be exposed to Amy and Shadow than Sally Acorn.
But what really exasperated everything was when Sega and the Dreamcast went under. I think that had a huge effect, Sonic became the symbol of the team that lost, the quality of games just slowly but surely went down. This would make any kid extremely defensive and butthurt and wanting to defend their team because we have to make a sport out of everything. It became more a weird kid's thing to care so much about it as Sega stopped being the force it used to be.
Now mix both of these that SA was also probably a whole generation's first Sonic game. A generation that probably never had a Sega console let alone a Dreamcast but did own a Gamecube. The guys who still fucking play Melee obsessively. The Gamecube already being seen as a pretty underwhelming system by Nintendo as the PS2 took up a huge space in the market. A cross-pollination of the two biggest autists in the industry. The Sonic Adventure games decided not to go to Xbox or Playstation, but Gamecube.

>> No.6958186

Just looking at this picture alone, Nintendo really is the bigger autism magnet than Sega. Just by virtue of having Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Smash. You don't really get the same stuff directed at Sega's games beyond Sonic, Sega tried really hard to have broader appeal and rein in some normies and they almost succeeded at that. Just take some guys out of Virtua Fighter and Shemue and make them stand together with guys from Space Channel 5 and Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.
The only guys that really stick out in Nintendo's side are Samus and Captain Falcon and of course Link's TP design.

Yes. I'm spanish and had a Mega Drive since 1991 and never noticed any Sonic autism until SEGA went third party. Probably the Archie comics autism was more strong in EEUU but in Europe Sonic was mostly just a cool game character.

wrong, more like
Playstation = SNES
Saturn = PC Engine
N64 = Genesis for the most part.

PS1 had the variety of genres and third party support that originally supported the SNES. Saturn became home to shmups, arcade ports, and niche otaku bait held by the PC engine, and N64 mostly resembles the genesis in that it was a flop in Japan, mostly succeeded in America thanks to marketing, and seemed to excel in a handful of genres at the expense of others (mostly RPGs, though even the Genesis had more those than N64).

Yeah, I think Archie was exclusively a US thing. The UK had their own Sonic comic with a completely different lore, original characters, and way of incorporating game stuff into the comic.
I don't know how to calculate their autism into the objective universal autism measurement system, though. They focused on different characters too but also other Sega games, but eventually got snuffed out by the early 00's.
