It was very popular in Europe (yeah, I'm that old), but competition was stiffer than in US - Europe had ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC 464 as well.

It was very good machine for its time, with a lot of great games and some genres not found on consoles and (what is now called indies) lot of bedroom/garage developers.

i would rather say it was bigger in western europe than in the US. Just look at the amount of games made by european (mainly UK) developers and a lot of them never reached the US (where only made for the PAL version). 

 

C64 is the reason europe has been PC-centric and he US has been console centric. 

Europe is both pc and console centric
