Also, kids 50 years ago already had ATARI consoles.

  In 01972? Maybe Pong, but that was at the pizza parlor, not in your house. And it sure wasn't cheap.

    Atari was producing home video game machines before long, I guess, but if they sold ~x00,000 units, that was an awfully small percentage of the population. Some people had (non-kit) microcomputers ~1981, but again, that was an extremely small percentage of the US.

      Yeah, but 50 years ago, Atari's home video game machines were still 5 years in the future.
      • vba616 5y ago
        I wasn't there, but going by Wikipedia, 1972 was about when they started doing something.

          Yup, Pong.
