NES did what it did, we can't disconsider that. But, I believe arcades and mostly PCs would fill the gaming gap. And PCs back then weren't like today, when we talk about home computers we are talking about Windows Or Mac, maybe Linux. Back then there were commodore 64, Amiga pc, Msx and others. All of them being closed systems.
And Nintendo prior to releasing NES in USA by themselves they tried partnering with Atari to distribute the Famicom overseas. Nintendo has an strange historic of making terrible partnerships and shooting their own feet, like with Sony Play Station and Philips CDi.
