The PS2 didn't create new gamers, however. The PS2 still mainly appealed to the male 14-35 demographic that the PS1 did. The Wii expanded it to new demographics. That's how the Wii saved gaming.

The NES barely got a release in Europe because in the 80s it was still recovering and dealing with Communism. Europe just wasn't ready, but if it was, the NES would have sold well there. Europe didn't become a valuable market in terms of sales til the mid 90s.

Then explain why PC gaming was, and still is, so large in Europe? You talk utter tripe. The NES did nothing for gaming, other than bringing the classic Nintendo IP's to the world.

I think this statement can easily be proven false. That's kind of like saying that SEGA did nothing for gaming except for bringing Sonic to the world, or that Sony did nothing for gaming except help bring Spyro to the world.

edit: I should probably more likely put it like SEGA Genesis and PS1.
