>The MSX2's gaming functions were gimped on purpose just so people will treat it as a serous business machine and not a over price toy like the Famicom at a much higher price point, it bombed compared to the MSX1 which sold 6 million units because ASCII gimped it too much and both the MSX2+ and Turbo-R were too little too late as the MSX2, 2+ and Turbo-R only sold 1 million units together.
>The X68000 sold poorly at 150,000 because it didn't have any actual productivity software, only games and Potemkin village software, and normies only saw it as a over price toy, sales were never counted as PC magazines just viewed it as "A games console masquerading as a PC", plus Sharp's normie computers became IBM compatibles (replacing the Z80 based MZ series) by 1987 anyway.
>Most of the FM Town's sales (500,000 units) came from schools, the JSDF and the FM Towns Marty, it did even worse then the X68000 as a computer and it's sales were only calculated because it was binary compatible with the FMR which did see proper support.
>The V in DOSV stands for VGA and not 5 and is actually DOS 4.35 and up, some DOSV IBM compatibles are not 100% compatible with IBM compatible hardware which makes these DOSV computers in the same ball park as the PC Jr. and PS/2 where they use custom hardware/connectors rather then ISA busses and off the shelf connectors with normal pinouts.

>Miyamoto watched Rare like a hawk and even said multiple times that the reports about him hating DKC are fake.

In North America, it just got started in Japan while in Pal markets they moved to PCs until 16-Bit, and that was strictly due to a lack of buttons on their controllers.

It was just Hironobu Sakaguchi's last game if it didn't sell well since 3D World Runner and Rad Racer sold enough to get them out of the hole DOG put them in.
