Even though the C64 (1982-08-01) hit the market about a year after the IBM PC (1981-08-12), it outsold the IBM PC series in 1983 and 1984. At the end of 1985, the IBM PC series was only slightly ahead in total unit sales. Of course, the IBM PC XT came out in 1983 and the IBM PC AT in 1984 so they were higher end models while the C64 was the same model.
