Interesting. The BBC was, in many respects, very sophisticated for the time. It makes sense the simpler, cheaper, Spectrum made a larger splash in the home market.
In Brazil, the home market belonged to Apple II clones at first. Small offices split evenly between TRS-80s and IIs, with a small participation of CP/M machines. Later the home split between IIs and MSXs, losing space progressively to IBM clones. And then it all became this dull x86 world we now know.
