cool… but why no mention of Microsoft bringing in the XBox and the shift from physical games to fully on demand DLC, possibly one of the biggest things to happen to console gaming in it’s (apparently) 46 year history

Interesting infographic, it’s a shame that it seems to be made by the same illiterate buffoon that this site is so fond of ripping off.

They were add-ons for the Genesis/Mega Drive, not stand alone consoles.
You guys missed out an entire generation of UK based DIY consoles such as the ZX Spectrum, C64, Amiga and it’s ilk.

The Spectrum, C64, Amiga etc were more personal computers than games consoles, although obviously games dominated the market for them :)
