I disagree. Well being a Commodore 64 user.

I could now raise the question, what was the king of the 8bit computers
of the early 80s. I suppose it was the Commodore 64 by outperforming any
competitor in the sheer numbers of units sold. Suppose the Atari 8bit
line came second. There might even have been better computers. But they
were either too expensive or didn't had the distribution network to make
an impact. I think the Memotech MTX
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memotech_MTX> could had taken the crown,
but came too late (1983) and had financial problems leading to their demise.
