'''SG-1000:''' The "Mark I" to the [[Sega Master System]]'s "Mark III". Released in Japan in 1983 (incidentally the same day as the [[Famicom]]) and sectors of Asia, Oceania, and Europe, but not America. A keyboard-equipped version, the SC-3000, was sold as a home computer. The hardware specs were almost identical to the [[ColecovisionColecoVision]], using nearly the exact same chips and components, to the extent that one clone system, the Telegames Personal Arcade, could actually play both Colecovision and SG-1000 games. It had an updated model called the '''SG-1000 II''' (aka the "Mark II").
 
'''Sega CD and 32X:''' Described in further detail on the page for the [[Sega Genesis]], these attempts to get in on the ground floor of technologies properly defined by the other Fifth Generation consoles fell flat due to the Genesis itself not having the processing power to realize their full potential (more precisely, only the 32X was an attempt to provide a transitional add-on for Genesis owners into the Fifth Generation; the Sega CD was originally released in 1991 for Japan, 1992 in America, and 1993 in Europe as a way to take the system's specs closer to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]). Plus, the 32X was released shortly '''after''' the Saturn's "surprise launch" in Japan, although it reached US first. The arrival of [[PlayStation]] (again, incidentally released the same day in Japan), as well as [[Sega Saturn]] itself, nailed this add-on as well as [[Sega Genesis]] itself.
