Aren't you forgetting something called Atari?

Atari had backwards compatibility?

Found my answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_7800

Atari 7800 out in 1984.

"With this system, Atari Inc. addressed all the shortcomings of the Atari 5200: it had simple digital joysticks; it was almost fully backward-compatible with the Atari 2600."

So, unless there is something else, Atari was first.
