Older consoles often get used in developing countries for quite some time since they're much cheaper (typically at least one console generation longer than the US). IIRC Microsoft only shut down Xbox 360 production very recently, because it was still selling well in South America. The Playstation 2 had a similarly long lifespan, I think production was just shut down a couple years ago.

Also the Atari 8 bit series of computers (introduced 1979) was selling in Eastern Europe well into the 90s.
