Really? Well here in Spain (we are european too) Snes was a great success
And me hailing from the Netherlands will have to agree with Kanyero,
in fact i noticed Nintendo overtaking Sega's position almost overnight after the Snes was released.
as a matter of fact Sega only really held total control here for a very short moment.
(that being the time when the Megadrive/Genesis had just been released)
but the moment the Snes was released all the stores switched like 75% of their space back to Nintendo again.
and to Timerever, from what I've read you are not a die hard gamer like most of us are, (nothing wrong with that)
so please don't claim Europe as your defense, because gaming has been huge here since mid NES times,
so i wonder about your claims, either you were too young to remember or the stores in the town where you lived were run by Sega fans.
And no i wasn't a Nintendo fanboy, in fact i owned a Sega.
(still have it, together with like 50 other consoles)
