MSX computers were not successful in the US, but they were in Japan, the Middle East, the USSR, the Netherlands, Spain, Brazil and to a lesser extent, several other European countries. It is difficult to estimate how many MSX computers were sold worldwide, but eventually 5 million MSX-based units were sold in Japan alone, many of which were the later models.

As it is a standard, many manufacturers created computers which adhered to it. Examples are Panasonic, Sony, Sanyo, Philips, Canon, Casio, Daewoo, Hitachi, JVC, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Toshiba and SpectraVideo.
