In the info-box to the right in the article, it says "Memory 1kB RAM, 16kB VRAM" I thought 16 kB sounded like a lot, especially compared to the NES system who was supposed to be technically superior and only had 2 kB of video ram, so I read a little more about both systems. I found that further down in this article it says "The system also includes 8 kbit of random access memory (RAM) and 16 kbit of video RAM" Which leads me to think that 16kB is wrong. What probably happened is that 16 kbit (which is the same as 2 kB) was confused with 16 kB, and thus the info-box got the wrong information. Somebody more knowledgeable than me on the subject should probably fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4643:A16D:0:EC73:C475:4F44:BB1D ( talk) 20:19, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
It pretty much seems few people care about the SG-1000 :( which is sad, it gave birth to Wonder Boy for a start! Anyway I've added a games list fo the Mark I/Mark II, I figured adding it to the page would be more sensible than making a seperate one (like the Mega Drive or Saturn has) because there's so few. I'm pretty sure that the list is complete. I used a Emulation site as reference but obviously for thier sake I cannot post as a source, though if you check various emulation sites, you should be able to find the total amount of games mixed in with the Master System titles. Hope this is alright - Dwitefry, 18:24 6 July 2008
I'd like to see a translation of the Taiwanese name "阿羅士" for the console added... A quick altavista translation gives "Arab League Gentleman", which I'm guessing is not the correct term :P -- 71.124.173.134 22:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
The paragraphs after a few of the sections on the list of SG-1000/SC-3000 series games need revision. Could anyone with knowledge of the SG-1000 help to clarify these?-- Classicrockfan42 ( talk) 06:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
"and in other countries, such as France": do you have a source and more information about the release in France? I can't find any on Internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.220.166.253 ( talk) 12:14, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Only SC-3000 was released in Australia and Europe (including France). The original SG-1000 was only released in Japan and New Zealand, whilst the SG-1000 II was only released in Japan and Taiwan. 124.120.245.117 ( talk) 08:09, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

"Retrospective feedback highlights that the console is not well remembered due to its poor performance, but served a role in development of the Master System" - how is it possible that an article with this line can pass a GA review? Are you just going through a checklist? - Ashley Pomeroy ( talk) 14:10, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
There was (IIRC) reasonable coverage of the John Sands SC-3000 in Gareth Powell's G.E.M. (Games, Entertainment, and Music) magazine from Australia, and a fair number of commercial indie games were released on tape (eg Roderick's Quest) before the Amiga and AtariST attained primacy. Of course finding copies of that or other magazines from the same era online is unlikely... ~~ Hydronium~Hydroxide~ (Talk)~~ 08:29, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Although I agree with @
Bololabich that
the Sega Mark III is the successor to the SG-1000, I think we should stick to "
Master System" instead of the Japanese name "Sega Mark III" (in the infobox's successor
field for this SG-1000 article). This is because that "Master System" was the name given to a console in English-language markets, starting with the United States. Same goes with the
Nintendo Entertainment System (Famicom), the
TurboGrafx-16 (PC Engine) and the
Sega Genesis (Mega Drive), which they have different names in different markets. It's also worth noting that the Mark III was re-released as "Master System" in Japan in 1987. Just FYI. – //

@ Hounder4 Though SG-1000 was an JP only release anyway and in the future SB may create an separate article for mark 3 like on different lang. wikis though I think not to make any misunderstandings etc we can put there just Mark III/Master System, you should have in mind poeople from around the forld not only the USA and BTW Mega Drive was mor commonly used name than Genesis ;) MD was used in EU, Australia, NZ, Brazil, Asia... everywhere except the USA and CA :) te same goes with the PC Engine which was called just a PC engine here in Europe, where I come from // bololabich // 11:23, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

The SG-1000 and the SG-1000 II actually sold around 2,000,000 units during its lifetime (1983 - 1985).-- DrSanic ( talk) 11:36, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
The article lists two different chips for the SG 1000 and the SG 1000 II,
SG-1000: Texas Instruments TMS9928A SG-1000 II: Yamaha YM2217 VDP
Segaretrogarde says the internal chips were the same. Could someone clarify? Halbared ( talk) 09:39, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
What the top says I feel like we need to mention the Othello Multivision hell even the games list mentions what it is but if people want to know the hardware we need to add it? Any thoughts??? NakhlaMan ( talk) 02:45, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
