Original version: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-sega-cd-was-successful.408935/ What if the Sega CD was a success? How would this happen? And how would this change Sega? (Would they still make consoles?)

Reposted version of this.: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ahc-screw-over-sega-before-the-saturn.433480/ The only rules I have for this is that Sega has to had released the Genesis before your POD and Sonic has to be released as well. (And if you want, Nintendo can buy them out...

So, your challenge here is to have Sega stay in the console market to this day without ASBs.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a franchise created and owned by Sega that follows a blue hedgehog named Sonic fighting the evil Dr. Eggman, a mad scientist. The first Sonic game was released in 1991 for the Sega Mega Drive (known in America as the Sega Genesis) and became a success, leading to a...

The Sega Saturn is a home video game console developed by Sega and released in 1994 in Japan and 1995 in both North America and Europe as the fifth-generation successor to the Sega Mega Drive (or the Sega Genesis in North America). It was a success in Japan, with it having sold 5.75 million...

I'm sure that most of us know about the Mario franchise by Nintendo, starring that Italian plumber who goes on adventures with his brother Luigi and their sidekick Yoshi and saves his love interest Princess Peach from the evil Bowser, right? Well, the question here is what if Mario was a Sega...

We all know the Master System, right? Its a 8-bit home video game console released by Sega in 1985 to compete with the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was a success in Europe and Brazil with the Master System's lifespan still going on in the latter country. However, it was a failure in Japan...

While Nintendo is a Copyright-Loving Video Game company that sued Fan games and other fan games content in the past while SEGA Completely Embraced Fan games and other fan-made stuff but what if it isn't the case? We're talking the Current Nintendo and Current SEGA but I apologize if It was in...

Before Sonic was the mascot of Sega, it was Alex Kidd. You see, Alex Kidd used to be the mascot of Sega back in the Master System era, but when it comes to the Sega Genesis era, Alex Kidd is out and Sonic is in! Now, here’s something you should know, what will be the possible way of making Alex...

Okay, so back around the start of this year, I came up with a idea for a TL where the NES failed, causing Nintendo to stick to just cards and Sega to take Nintendo's place. I soon scrapped it for other TL ideas, but here's the question. What if Sega took Nintendo's place as a big video game...

We all know about Sonic CD and Sonic 2, two games released in the early 90's that are often called one of the best Sonic games. However, Yuji Naka wasn't involved in the development of Sonic CD, due to him moving with several members of Sonic Team to the United States to develop Sonic 2 with...

[It's an idea by @The Gamer Sunflower.] We all know how Sega became a third-party developer and publisher back in 2002. Right now, the console developers are always Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. However, what if Nintendo and SEGA BOTH become third party developers and publishers back in 2002...

We all know that the 32-bit add-on to the Mega Drive, the 32X, was both a commercial and critical failure, because of its shallow game library, poor market timing and its market fragmentation of the Mega Drive. So, how can I make the 32X be successful? How can I make that happen without ASB?

Ever since 1991, Puyo Puyo has been one of Sega and Compile's well-known gaming franchises and also one of gaming's well-known puzzle games in Japan, but outside of Japan, it wasn't so well-known at first, but it's starting to become a little well-known once Puyo Puyo Tetris got released outside...

We all know that the popular video game franchise Sonic originated from Japan. However, despite being born in Japan, Sonic games have poor sales over there, for example, Sonic 2 selling 160,000 units in Japan and Sonic Colours selling 10,000 units in Japan. Sonic also has a sizeable fanbase over...

I’ve had ideas of a console war timeline where Nintendo is more competitive towards Sega and Sony, releasing a 16-bit successor to the Famicom/NES in the late 80’s, allowing games like Mortal Kombat to be released uncensored with blood and gore, releasing a disc-based 32-bit console capable of...

We all know that back in the day, Sega was Nintendo’s rival and in our current day, Sega is Nintendo’s friend. However, I was thinking of making a timeline where Nintendo and Sega work together on consoles and such since around the 1980’s, but how can I create such a TL without ASB?

As you may know IOTL, Nintendo teamed up with Sony to produce a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES as well as a cartridge/CD console named the PlayStation back in 1988, which ended up being cancelled. After failing to develop a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES together, Sony turned to Nintendo's rival, Sega...

In 1991, Sonic the Hedgehog was made as Sega's new mascot, replacing Alex Kidd. Sonic would go on to be one of the most famous video game characters in the world and his titular video game franchise would also go on to be one of the bestselling ones. In 1992, Miles "Tails" Prower was made as...

Sega Saturn was originally developed with backward compatibility with his predecessor, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. That's the main reason why the console have cartridge set and Yamaha YMF292 as sound chip. If succesfull, it would let Sega to use quite imprresive SG's library of games as starting...
