Yay! Some US Master System figures.

The Palm Beach Post May 12, 1989

The Sega system is the NES in a somewhat sleeker package. While the company has only been in this volatile business since 1987, it has sold more than half a million systems and they expect their now 10 percent share of the market to increase. And for good reason. Inside Sega's futuristic control deck-- call it a "power base"-- resides a heavy-duty processing unit with 128K of memory, which is in the sophistication neighborhood of many personal computers.
