I was watching videos on the history of gaming in Europe today. It's very interesting to hear how Europe has always been a competitive market for alternatives. Apparently Sega was huge in Europe and instead of Sega trying to conquer Nintendo, Nintendo was trying conquer Sega. The gaming history there seems super interesting.

Fictional history tends to be interesting.

In reality Sega wasn't huge in Europe. The NES sold clearly better than the Master System, the SNES and Mega Drive had Sega marginally ahead (8m vs. 9m, Sega had a two year headstart in that generation), the N64 easily beat the Saturn. It's really not too different from North America where those three generations align pretty much in the same way, except that the SNES had a marginal lead over the Genesis.

Yes and no

The Master System was cut short by the early arrival of the Mega Drive. Without Super Mario Bros 3 the Master System might even have won that gen in europe as it was THE killer app late in the NES life and boosted it's sales consoderably in Europe. But as it is the Master system is one million behind the NES in Europe. The NES legged out the Master System, but at it's height the Master System sold better throughout most of europe
