The Winter International Consumer Electronics Show 1995 (WCES 1995) was the final CES event in which video games took up a large percentage of the show floor (being replaced by E3 which began later in the year). Due to declining popularity, no "summer" CES event took place in 1995 year, making Las Vegas the sole home of CES. As such, the "winter" prefix is often dropped.

This was the event in which the localised "black" Sega Saturn for Western markets was first shown^[1], although Sega's focus was geared around the Sega 32X. Sega also used th event to announce a letter of intent from Microsoft to create Softimage 3D development kits for Saturn developers^[2]. They also announced an agreement to incorporate QSound technology into their consoles^[2]. Deion Sanders was also named as the "official spokesman" for Sega Sports^[3].

Sega and Sony's representatives were staying at the same hotel, Alexis Park, the venue Sega had used for several years when attending WCES. Traditionally Sega would put a five-foot Sonic the Hedgehog inflatable outside the hotel's entrance, however this year Sony representatives deflated it and threw it in the swimming pool^[4]. In retaliation, Sega defaced Sony's "PSX welcomes Sega" balloons with "Play Sega 32X"^[4].
