Sega is a provider of various entertainment products including digital contents, home video games, amusement machines, animation products, toys, and more. Instead of looking at other games machines when designing the Sega Genesis MK-1631 Model 2 Console, designers drew influence from high-end audio equipment and performance cars that would appeal to both children and adults. Certain games knowingly courted a more mature demographic, and Sega's approach to both their hardware and games was driven by a wish to expand its audience beyond young children, creating this sleek product.
