It wasn't going to comeback, Nintendo literally nearly killed themselves risking to put NES in retailers for free just so they could accept the NES in store shelves. |
That totally bypasses reality. The Famicom was released in Japan in mid 83 and quickly became a huge success. Nintendo only cautiously released the NES in the US in selected test markets before they went full out in mid to end 86 so they had already filled their pockets with 3 years worth of japanese money.
It is rather the other way around. Nintendo at the time was the only company who was able to ressurect the console gaming market in the US because they were the only company with the needed know how, third party backing of mostly japanese developers and most importantly the necessary fundings.
