    Who was king before the Famicom

    Recently i have been doing a lot of research on japanese retroconsole sites, and a question came to my mind.
    It seems that every japanese console flopped until the Famicom came out. So my question is, What game console dominated the japanese market at the time the Atari 2600 ruled in the USA?
    Thanks in advance for your replies.
    P.S. My Super Cassette Vision rules!
