>The CoCo was sold in the UK but didn't make any impact due to the already oversaturated UK home computer market.

Radio Shack was a pretty widespread chain across the United States and Canada. I am from Canada, and RadioShacks Tandy Computer line sold well enough. Though the Color Computer line was still competing directly with the Apple II, Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit PC's and a few others. The CoCo line certainly had a userbase. The thing with the Tandy brand was that it was Radio Shack exclusive, and RadioShack would only stock Tandy published software and Tandy hardware peripherals as they didn't have infinite space. So they didn't stock anything made by third parry groups. The only way to get a hold of third party software was to purchase or subscribe to magazines like Color Computer Magazine, or Rainbow magazines.
