Philips CD-i standard launches
CDI 205 / US CDI 910 · Philips CD-i · 1991
Why
There’s no units produced with a source and not enough listings. We don’t make things up.The Compact Disc-Interactive (CD-I, later CD-i) is a digital optical disc data storage format as well as a hardware platform, co-developed and marketed by Dutch company Philips and Japanese company Sony. It was created as an extension of Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) and CD-ROM and specified in the Green Book specifications, co-developed by Philips and Sony, to combine audio, text and graphics. The two companies initially expected to impact the education and training, point of sale, and home entertainment industries, but the CD-i was used more in the end for its video games.

Interactive CD format co-developed by Philips and Sony (Green Book, 1986); Philips was the main hardware backer, later licensing the design to Magnavox, GoldStar/LG, Kyocera, Memorex, Grundig and others. No confirmed worldwide lifetime unit total exists (see cdi/cdi/README.md); best-documented snapshots are Philips' own October 1994 claim of a 570,000-unit installed base and a 1996 Wall Street Journal figure of 400,000 US units sold - these do not sum to a single lifetime total and are kept in notes/units_sold_note on the model record, not as a top-level figure.
