>Model 2 is far more memorable to Americans and Canadians.
um, no, model 2 was plenty memorable, especially since it was bundled with Sonic 2.

Megadrive 2 was also more well known in some markets as a Dendy (Famiclone).

They didn't call them Slim because that was a term Sony introduced with the PS2, but they were for all intents and purposes the same thing: a cost-reduced, smaller version of the console, released throughout the lifetime of the console, superseding the original version. The Genesis 2 was literally a slimmer version of the Genesis 1 for fucks sake. It was so slim, that you could actually see the front artwork of the cartridge in it, the Genesis 1 obscured the bottom half of the carts.

>No one said Sega Genesis Slim. Or SNES Slim.
No one I know called them PSOne or PS2 Slim either, we just called them by the console name, and nobody gave a shit what model it was because it played games the same. The only people who gave a shit were those who installed modchips and had to understand the versions.
