Allow me to fix that for you....
"In fact, the whole American industry at the time had been discredited by a market crash (Atari)."
The whole 'Great market crash' is bollocks is only ever affected America, over here in Europe, no such thing ever actually happened and Video games only continued to grow. Europe was unaffected mainly due to the thriving home computer market.
Machines like the BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum protected the UK from feeling the American crash.
