MSX was a home computer platform, not a video game console. There were dozens of successful home computers in the 80s, most prominently the C64. Typically they were popular for gaming, and most western companies started their business on them (if they hadn't started on the Atari VCS 2600).
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
