However, thanks to positive press coverage from Famitsu to start a following and in addition to a variety of games, it created a variety of peripherials to boost the console's usability like an answering machine. Unfortunately, even this was unable to overcome the Famicom in Japan."@en . . "Sega Mega Drive"@en . .

If Nintendo was dragging their feet to a 16-bit system (the arcade standard at the time), then Sega would beat them to the punch with a console based on its System 16 arcade board. For the most part, it worked. This was helped by some of Nintendo's U.S. policies being ruled as anti-trust violations, by some developers supporting Sega due to them being a lot more lax , and their first truly successful hit known as Sonic the Hedgehog. So the Genesis was a hit, selling 35 million systems (with miniaturized versions and handhelds still on the market today.). There were also the Sega CD and 32X add-ons, but they were commercial flops. Nintendo eventually had its own entry in the 16-bit era in the form of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The SNES and Genesis had a long and fierce console war that is probably the best-remembered of them all.

One, It's inserterted on top of the Genesis, and he claims that a Model 1 Genesis need metal prongs in its slot before the 32x addon can be inserted. Two, its games aren't end labeled.
