3DO M2 is a 6th gen, not a 5th gen.
:''Not to be confused with [[Konami M2|Konami M2]], although they do share some history.''
The '''Panasonic M2''', also known as '''3DO M2''' or simply '''M2''', is a 64-bit, fifthsixth-generation home video game console meant to be released by Matsushita (Panasonic) in 1997. Developed by The 3DO Company, M2 featured a CPU comprised of dual PowerPC 602s clocked @ 66 MHz, alongside a custom ASIC chip codenamed "Bulldog", which handled several audiovisual elements.
After system specifications were sold to Matsushita in early 1996, the company made a deal with Konami to produce arcade hardware based on the specifications (See [[Konami M2|'''Konami M2''']]).
