He clearly defines "home computer" as a non x86 based 'PC style' computer which IMHO is correct. Ofcourse smarter people bought the MSX which at least had a real VPU with 2D accelleration (which standard PCs didn't have for a long time).   >:D

Still I'm wondering whether you could classify today's mobile phone as a home computer. It is still called a mobile phone but I have to say I use mine mostly not for making phone calls.  :popcorn:

Yeah. When trying to think of a specific model of home computer that sold more than the C64 the only thing I could come up with was something like an Xbox 360. It's a computer and it's used at home, but I think I'll just accept the C64 as the winner and get on with my life.
