That's how it always is. In Gen 3, most Americans thought it was only Nintendo making gaming consoles. We all know that to be very untrue - SEGA was huge in Europe with the Master System. This gen, we've got three big names, but there are a ton of smaller names. Heck, SEGA is even re-entering system making with the SEGA Vision portable media & game player. |
Where are you getting your information from? No sarcasm intended, I mean I would really like to know where info on these systems are.
With regards to your gen 3 example, I think its bearing on this thread in somewhere in the neighborhood of zero. I don't doubt there were members of the GP and even some gamers who had no knowledge of Sega in the 80s. But this isn't the 80s (ie we all have the internet), and this isn't a forum populated by people who only play games in passing. If there are consoles that are unknown to many members of VGC, they are way more obscure than Sega was in the US in the 80s.
