Sega Mega-CD5555555
The '''Sega Mega-CD''' ([[Japanese language|Japanese]]:&#12513;&#12460;CD) is an add-on device for the [[Sega Megadrive]] released in [[Europe]], [[America]], [[Australia]] and [[Japan]]. The [[North America|North American]] version is called Sega CD.

The device will allow the user to both play CD audio discs and specially designed game CDs.  It can also play [[CD plus G|CD+G]] discs.

For all this chain of events, the downhill path started in [[1993]], and ended with the console's death in [[1996]].

===Europe===
In Europe the  Mega-CD was overpriced. It was released in [[April]] [[1993]] in the [[United Kingdom]] for £270 (over 
&euro €400 now ). Only 4% of European Megadrive owners bought a Mega-CD because of its price.
Unlike The [[Megadrive]], which was a very successful console in Europe, only 60,000 of the 70,000 Mega-CD's shipped to Europe were sold by August 1993. 

Some European countries ([[Spain]] for instance), wouldn't get the original Mega-CD, but the Mega CD 2,  which also slowed sales. 

===Australia===
The [[Australia|Australians]] got their Mega-CD on [[19 April]], [[1993]].
