Sega of America pushed childish console wars until the end. A bit sad. The japanese branch went out with more signity, what with the very president of Sega apologizing and being empathic with fans

Polite society/beta society. Americans are red blooded, hot headed, and competitive. Compare greetings, in Japan you bow to your worst enemy, in America you give your best friend a firm punch in the arm.

America is the only reason Sega had a console career at all. Sonic is an American icon, not a Japanese one. And it makes sense, everything about Sonics design and character is tailor made for Americans. Sports games also made Genesis a hit, American sports. Many Sega games were things like Streets of Rage and Golden Axe, hyper masculine Western themes. Etc etc.

Genesis was very much "the American" console

They actually did it in reverse, they had a popular ad where the Sega guy overhears kids saying that everyone plays Playstation now and Sega is finished. Well those kids were right
