Yeah Japan had the Sega CD and America had the 32x. They couldn't even agree on how to upgrade the Genesis. There's way too many lost Sega IPs floating around these days. Luckily enough there's a lot of Indie devs making spiritual successors. 

? The Sega CD and Sega 32X were released in both regions.

I'm trying to find where I read it. This was years ago on an old website documenting the history of games. But anyway Sega of America wanted the 32x to be developed and Sega of Japan wanted the CD. They couldn't agree so both add ons got made. 

Edit: A few years after Sega CD,  Sega of Japan wanted a full fledged Genesis Pro, and Sega of America thought that would be a horrible idea. So one of the heads of Sega of America spearheaded development for the 32x add on instead.
