The 5200 was far more powerful and was released 5 years later, but for some reason, they're both "2nd generation". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_generation_of_video_game_consoles You also needed an adapter to play 2600 games on the 5200, so the "same games" argument doesn't really hold up. It doesn't seem to be based on power - there's obviously a big range of power within a generation, with some consoles deemed to be part of a generation actually having specs closer to the previous generation. |
The gaming crash is why that happened, they lumped them to forget about that short time it existed lol.
