By the time the U.S. video game market recovered in the late 1980s, the NES was by far the dominant console in the United States, leaving only a fraction of the market to a resurgent Atari. By 1989, home video game sales in the United States had reached $5 billion, surpassing the 1982 peak of $3 billion during the previous generation. A large majority of the market was controlled by Nintendo; it sold more than 35 million units in the United States, exceeding the sales of other consoles and personal computers by a considerable margin. Other Japanese companies also rivaled Nintendo's success in the United States, with NEC's PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 in 1989 and Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis released the same year. The latter console's release set the stage for a major console war of market dominance between Sega and Nintendo in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the United States market recovered from the crash.
