The official title of this console is the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, but 3DO is the accepted abbreviation that the console is most commonly called. The original release date for the 3DO was October 4, 1993 in North America, priced at $699.95 USD. The original version was produced by Matsushita(known as Panasonic outside of Japan) and later versions were produced by Sanyo and Goldstar, though even more companies had rights to produce their own variants. The 3DO was officially discontinued in 1996, after selling only about 2 million units. The 3DO Company eventually went defunct in 2003.
