Believe it or not, around the 90s for a while, SEGA managed to take away Nintendo’s hegemony as the most popular game of the moment. Since then, and without ever repeating this success, they have managed to market products that have proven profitable.
SEGA’s bestseller
And to celebrate the legacy of this legendary company, today We studied which are the five best-selling SEGA consoles in the world. We tell you that in this list you will find lots and lots of retro. Let’s shut up and start, here it is:
5. SEGA Dreamcast
The last major console launched by SEGA on the market has undergone a curious transformation. Over the years, it has gone from a much-hated console to one that is remembered with great affection by those who played with it in their early days in the gaming world.. In terms of sales, it was a moderate success, selling only 9.13 million copies.
4. SEGA Saturn
The history of this console is tragic, starting with the fact that It was direct competition from the company responsible for Sonic in an attempt to take over the Nintendo 64 and the first PlayStation., so we imagine you already know how things ended. Despite this, it managed to sell 9.26 million units worldwide. Nothing bad.
3. SEGA Gaming Gear
Although it has not had the same success as its competitors, SEGA’s move to handheld consoles wasn’t bad, but not bad at all. We especially stand out the GameGear, which was a very good console. Plus the fact that it’s in color at a time when it wasn’t very common gives it extra points. It managed to sell 10.62 million units.
2. SEGA Master System
It is this console that SEGA is so beloved today. Even though sales weren’t very good, it laid a very solid foundation for the company to succeed with another console which we’ll talk about later. You could say that the Master System had to learn to work for SEGA to work.
1. SEGA Mega Drive
Did you really think there could be another SEGA console in position 1 other than the Mega Drive? Almost every major video game created by this company has been released on this console, including of course the great Sonic the Hedgehog. In terms of sales, it was very successful, selling 34.06 million copies. And the rest is history.
And you? What is your favorite SEGA console?
