No, they were all the same everywhere I think. Just the Genesis was different. Maybe they’d seen Nintendo flipping between Famicom and SNES branding and thinking that might be the secret sauce.
Sega just kept falling between technology generations at the end there. Saturn was so close to being 3D capable, but the PlayStation and N64 were so much better in every way. Then the Dreamcast which wasn’t that much less powerful than the PS2, but missed out on DVDs for the extra storage space that proved essential later on. Plus the PS2 played DVDs at a time when it cost only slightly more than a dedicated player.
Just did some reading. Apparently “Genesis” was already overloaded outside of NA and they opted to change the branding rather than possibly need to fight a legal battle.
And the Dreamcast used GD-ROMs because DVDs were open but required license fees, and the standard wasn’t fully set when it was in development. Plus they figured it would help avoid piracy using a proprietary disc format, though didn’t work out that way.
