Home computers market share from 1975 to 2005 : http://www.wowdailynews.com/pegasus/total_share.html Interesting enough, Commodore 64 had the same fate as MegaDrive/Genesis. C-64 was Commodore best selling product ever with 17 milion unit sold ( it is the best selling single model computer of all time ) but it was the beginning of the end for that company. Tramiel ( Ceo of CBI ) was so focus on competition ( TRS, Atari400/800 ) that begun a price war so harsh that ruined all the savings of Commodore dispite obtaining a lot of market share ( the low price of home computer hurt Atari's console industry and it is one motive of Crash '83 ). When a new worthy opponent arise ( PC IBM clones ) Commodore was too financially weak to resist and went bankrupt in 1994. This is the same destiny occured to Sega in mid '90.
