Looks like the NES basically had the same CPU as the Atari 7800. And overall, the consoles have pros and cons, but are vaguely on par. It makes me wonder what could have happened if the two had an even competition. Even though the NES was superior at scrolling, I can imagine a world without the 1983 crash where the NES is home to home-tailored experiences like sidescrollers while the 7800 was the definitive console for many arcade ports, especially since the 7800 had more colors available, larger possible sprites, etc.
