Loving the debate between Rol and happydolphin (what happened to your 'padib' name?).
Rol, you sure know a lot about the NES success here in the U.S. back in the 80s.I remember it well, and I´ll tell you, the NES phenomenon, proportionely speaking, was bigger than any other console that was released later, to this very day...it´s the only post Atari console, as far as I know, that held more than 80% of the market in the U.S.
Not even the Wii, DS , PS1 and PS2 achieved that...maybe the original GameBoy did, but I´m not sure.
