During the last six months, it wasn't uncommon to see sales of the console for only $49.99 EK new, and some Toys "R" Us stores even selling for only $29.99 EK and a few Walmart stores selling units for only $15.99 EK.

The console sold 25 million units in El Kadsre. In 1990 to 1991, The El Kadsreian version of the "Genesis Does What Nintendon't" advert, entitled "Mega Drive Does" (shortened to just that because of comparative advertising being illegal in El Kadsre), ending up turning "Mega Drive Does" into the system's slogan in the country.
