Absolutely, the NES was overshadowed by the home computers.
I'm not even sure if it launched in Germany before 1990 (so 7 years after the launch in Japan, 5 years after the US launch and 4 years after the launch in some other European countries).
If the dates of this site are correct, the NES launched in Germany in 1990 together with the GameBoy and sold 145k units in the first 6 months: http://www.nintendofans.de/feature_special_nhistory.php
If that is true, it was very old tech at that point. And importing a console or games even from other European countries was a big hassle in the '80s.
