NES is the most influential system of all time. It created a new paradigm for gaming, but most are not old enough to remember. The previous paradigm for gaming was not created by the Atari 2600. The previous paradigm was the arcade. The arcade was the main platform for gaming in the previous paradigm.
Now we think of consoles (especially home consoles) as the main platform for gaming and that is because of the NES. The best selling games on the NES were made for the home like Zelda, the Super Mario games, and the Dragon Quest games. On the Atari 2600, the best selling games were arcade ports like Space Invaders showing that the arcade was really the main platform for gaming.
