Though the console was poised to compete with the Intellivision console, in the end its major competitor was the ColecoVision console that was released at about the same time as the Atari 5200, both of which the Atari 5200 outsold.
The Atari 5200 was a home video console manufactured by Atari Inc to serve as a higher end complementary console for its popular 8-bit series computers, particularly the Atari 2600.
In November 1982, the Atari 5200 Super system mostly referred to as the Atari 5200, was released to the gaming public.
