Do people that weren't around back then have a clue how it really happened? No.
Do us older guys telling you the truth matter to you? No.
Point blank, it crashed. Atari buried E.T to commemorate the death of it. Nintendo drove a truck of NES's to NYC and convinced them to stock the system. Any unsold units would get bought back. At that point, no retailer in the US would order video game consoles because of the crash in 1983. Once those stores in NYC proved they were successful, they got orders across the country and the video game market was reborn.
