Did NES marketshare beat Atari 2600 market share? I supose so. considering all it's competitors... and that the NES was even beating the Genisis in Japan until Sega came out with the brilliant US market plan which ironically probably led to most of the fanboyism we see today. NES being the most successful console ever i'd argue from a different angle honestly. That angle being that the NES basically recreated the ENTIRE market. Electronic home games pretty much always had a market until the Videogame crash... had the NES not come out, gaming probably STILL would be a thing only to Pcs.

From the data I can find, NES and Atari 2600 both had around 80-85% market share, so I guess you'd have to go into those other factors to differentiate their success.
