Olha só, lendo o FAQ do Atari 5200, o que eu achei:
------
The 5200 was originally conceived as Atari's answer to Mattel's
Intellivision, NOT the Colecovision as many people think. As an
example, the 5200's analog joystick was a response to Mattel touting
its unit having 16 positions of movement compared to the 2600's
eight. Atari's plan was to upstage the Intellivision in this area by
creating an analog controller with 360 degrees of full motion
control.
------
Ou seja, aparentemente ele não foi concebido para "combater" o Colecovision
e sim o Intellivision.
Alguém sabe de algo ???
