Some people take Nintendo as the Jesus Christ of gaming... And the US as the center of the universe. -___-

The industry in Japan and Europe wasn’t in the same predicament as the US. Why everyone of you replying to me is ignoring this goes beyond reason. As if nothing can throve if not for the US.

Prior to the release of the NES in the US, Sega iterated on the SG-10000 series until getting to the Mark III/Master System, which released in Japan in October 1985 almost the same day the NES was released in the US. The industry in Japan was enough for them to continue fuelling the industry of that time. If the industry as a whole was at its end, Sega certainly hadn’t read the memo.
