It's important to recognize that Nintendo's tight control over distribution of software for their hardware was a necessary evil at the time in order to prevent the flood of shovelware that the Atari 2600 was known for having. It didn't exactly do a good job, but it preserved an illusion of quality that was enough to revive the industry, so it worked well enough. The Famicom didn't have a lockout chip like the overseas versions did. Also Europe was primarily focused on home computing (i.e. Amiga) and less concerned with traditional consoles, so the crash never hit them quite as bad.
