And, in the US, pc are used mostly for serious work.  If people want to 
play games, they buy Amiga's, Nintendo's, and Mac's as well as low-end
(i.e. 386sx/286 ) pcs.  The pc's are used some for games, but the pc's
really aren't at heart game machines.  Most have only an internal speaker,
no game port as standard equipment.  Compared to the Amiga's that have 
pretty good sound, decent graphics/animation it is no wonder that pc's
aren't used for games here.
