@polychrome @noelle also two things with home consoles:
they couldn't exactly control your display (what stops you from connecting a high-resolution Trinitron with a 3D comb filter to an AV Famicom? - although they could've not released the AV Famicom)
and, for the Japanese consoles specifically, box art was often completely different between markets, so, what, say, Nintendo of America did on the heavily pixelated Super Mario Bros box art was not at all what Nintendo did for the drawn Japanese box art (and both box arts were present in different PAL markets)
