I've been collecting video game systems for the past few years,But I have a question that hasn't found the proper answer yet.I own at least 11 Original Sega A/C Power adapters regarding the Genesis Model 1 and Sega CD systems(the first kind,larger block type)..

I know for a fact that they all are compatible with each other regardless,but thats not my point.I'm triyng to figure out what supply came orginally with each Sega System and why Sega decided to add more juice to some of them.
My confusion begun when looking at the bottom of the consoles(Genesis/CD systems) and they all seem to be power rated labeled at 9V 1.2A
This is a comparison in some of the Sega Power supplies power ratings I've encounter with:120V 60Hz 17W 9V 1.2A,***120V 60Hz 20W 9V 1.2A,***120V 60Hz 35W 9V 1.2A,***120V 60Hz 18W 10V 1.2A,***120V 60Hz 20W 10V 1.2
Do you see what I mean?...Where did it go from 9V 17W to 35W and then from 9V to 10V
Do the Sega Cd systems need more juice even tough they are still rated at 9.5V 1.2A on the label?..
None of this consoles are rated marked as 10V 1.2A
Can anyone share some light?
