Message: [QUOTE="X y b e r - S k u ll, post: 401065, member: 235510"] I’m a 2000’s kid so 6th gen onwards is more what I can accurately speak on and have perspective of, but based on talking to people older than me over the years, I can pretty much confirm what most of my PAL region peers are saying in the thread. Traditionally, Europe has always been more of a PC gaming market (Commodore, ZX-Spectrum, MSX etc. not sure about Australia/NZ though), with consoles not really being a popular thing until the 4th gen (Though places like France and the Scandinavian countries were successful for Nintendo when it came to the NES). From what I’ve heard and read, Sega absolutely dominated much of Europe during this time, though the SNES was a lot more successful across Europe than the NES, Mega Drive undeniably won that generation in Europe. 5th Gen was dominated by the PS1 over here, with Sega Saturn becoming a very niche product and N64 doing fairly well. When it comes to the 6th gen, from what I remember as a kid; it was either PS2 or GameCube. Those are the consoles that we’d talk about on the playgrounds. PS2 still undeniably came out on top in the end, but GameCube was still very popular with kids over here. Handhelds were always pretty much Nintendo all the way, though I think that’s true for pretty much all regions lol, but everyone I knew who was into games back back then had a GBA SP (Never actually saw an original model GBA back then now I think about it), and when the DS came out? PSP had no chance lol. Everything after that pretty much mirrors what was going on in North America though in terms of console sales and trends/popularity. [/QUOTE]
