In the
mid-1980s, the 68000, then 68020 was just too cheap compared to
the J-11, I'd estimate.
Same for the 6502/6581x series and they were fast enough for the price. Did the RISC CPUs (arm, strongarm, and friends) make
it in games?
Data East used it quite a bit, but I haven't seen it used as much as other
architectures (MIPS has appeared in a number of high end titles too).
Sega still uses a lot of SuperH-based systems (particularly NAOMI, basically
a Dreamcast on steroids).
