This is true up to a point, but the spectrum was much more popular at my school than the "commie" 64,precisely because it was cheaper, and there were a lot more games available for it.
Even the spectrum was an expensive item for a single parent family in the early 80s. I have no idea how my mum afforded to get me one, but she did, and I'm thankful for it to this day as while I'm not a full time programmer, computer skills I gained programming my spectrum left me in good standing for my entire working life in multiple areas.
