It was definitely a minimum viable product, but: 2600: US$190 in 1977, sold 30 million units as of 2004. Colecovision: $175, 1982. 2 million units sold. Intellivision: US$275 in 1979, sold 3 million. Pac-Man for the 2600: 1982, 8 million units sold. The 2600 was discontinued after the technologically-superior Intellivision and Colecovision were discontinued. The Colecovision cost less than the Atari when it came out and still couldn't move more consoles than Atari moved copies of Pac-Man. Technically I guess the Intellivision and Colecovision were competing with the 5200 (1982, $270, 1 million sold) but none of them lasted more than a couple of years, versus the 2600 finally going out of production for good in 1992. (All data from Wikipedia except for the Coleco and 5200's launch prices, which came from an IGN page listing launch prices.)
