I grew up in Sweden so I can't say how it was elsewhere, but as I recall we referred to the systems as "8-Bit", "16-Bit", "32-Bit", "64-Bit" and "132-Bit".

The last i heard of "bits" was early Sega Dreamcast commercials that refer to it as a 128 bit console but those didn't last. the talk of "bits" was on the way out by then. I've never hear of 132 bits tho. Witch console was reffered to as 132 bits?

I'd say we used the number of bits as a serious descriptor in the US until my about the 32 but era.  64 was used, of course, but not to the same degree.  I recall very little talk of bits after that.
