A strong home computer industry, then shared between Sega and the PCs, only to be traded for Sony and the PC. That's why Mario just isn't so iconic I guess...

The only 8bit console I've played was the Master System, at a friend's house when I was a kid :)<BR/><BR/>Now that I think of it, Nintendo was never much popular around here.
