The SC-3000 was released in various countries including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy and Finland, as an entry-level machine for the home. The SC-3000 was distributed in France under the Yeno brand, achieving mild success in 1983/1984.
The SC-3000 was Sega's first and most popular home computer to be released to the general public. Other endeavours such as the rare [[Sega AI]] Computer saw only a small fraction of the success the SC-3000 received, and were built with very different aims. The company would also partner with Amstrad for the Amstrad [[Mega PC]] in later years. A similar partnership was made with IBM to create the Sega [[TeraDrive]] computer.
