@Crecca I think you missed the point of my comment. Those systems although Japanese in origin were localised for your region and your market was the biggest market in the world built around you. That's not a bad thing, why would you care about what's happening in Europe? A good example is the recent trend of north Americans discovering SCART connections and modding old TVs. I wouldnt say these individuals are "mouth breathers"? Also my American friends are always surprised by my random bits of trivia "Starfox isn't Starfox in Europe it was starwing and then lylat wars"

Im originally from the UK and now live in North America. I can tell you 100% the Americans neither know or care about anything that is not America. We consume American pop culture via Hollywood so most Europeans know stuff like Americans call the mega drive the genesis or that Europe runs PAL 50hz and the US runs NTSC 60hz. That the real super Nintendo has four different coloured buttons not four Parma violets stuck to a controller. The average american knows none of this trivia and nor do they care......
