There wasn't. They started in 1889 as an illicit gambling company. Selling cards designed for illegal gambling, and intending to be sold to various organized crime organizations. Mainly the Yakuza.

In terms of video games, even with their first console, they had a monopoly on the video game market, and forced publishers to bend over and take it.

Wasn't until the genesis got popular that publishers had even a viable alternative.
