atari won the second gen of game consoles but lost to nintendo when nintendo introduced the nes even though atari released a new console a year before it so he was wrong regardless...

Ah had to dig deep!  I almost forgot about Atari releasing the 5200 before the NES.  What I find funny is that Wikipedia puts the 5200 in the 2nd generation of home console systems (with the 2600).  I suppose it goes more on a time scale back then but you would think the succesor to the 2600 would mean a new generation.  Just thought it was interesting considering I would put the 5200 in the 3rd generation not the 2nd.
