* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The Mega Drive was never a big success in Japan compared to the PC Engine or the Super Famicom, but the console was popular in the rest of the world, especially North America and Europe. It was released two years before the SNES and outsold it in the US and UK. The only reason the SNES was able to outsell the Genesis in North America during its dying days was due to the release of ''Donkey Kong Country''. In UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}, the Mega Drive was (and in many cases still is) the only 16-bit console. The Russian video game market in the '90s was mainly based on bootlegging and piracy, and the SNES was nearly impossible to clone at that time; it was much easier and cheaper for video game stores to import countless unlicensed Mega Drive clones and cartridges. Before the rise of the internet, many people in Russia didn't even know the SNES existed. Much like its predeccesor the Master System, it was also hugely popular in UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}}, with both systems being supported by third-party manufacturers to this day.

Thus, Sega decided that they would beat Nintendo to the punch with a console based on their System 16 arcade board (codenamed "Mark V").
