The system sold 100,000 units during the first year of release in Japan. However, cost issues prevented more units from being sold. 

===United States===
Sega of Japan did not speak to Sega of America about their Mega-CD plans for that market until a few months later. 

The Sega CD had been announced at the 
[[Chicago]] CES on November [[1992]].

In the end, the Sega CD failed to convice American gamers, mostly due to the cost of the console. There just was not enough value for the price. Moreover, the game experience was little improved.
