The PC Engine was tiny compared to the Turbografx-16 and everything else; it used the same HuCards, but with a different region code. And, unlike over here, people were actually able to buy games made by someone other than Hudson.
This Select Button thread is a love letter to the little white system, in which the posters extol the design, the controller, and, of course, the games. Like proud parents, the Select Buttoneers have even started posting pictures of their own PC Engine setups in the thread. Can't do that with the Virtual Console (yet).

damn that's tiny. Tailor made for the Japanese market, no doubt.

It failed because of the crushing lack of American publisher support, although it was a runaway hit in Japan (more so than the Genesis), that still put it in 3rd place (out of 4, silly Neo Geo) as the Genesis ran away with the American market
Super NES won by bridging the regions
