Xebec Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Hi folks! Most sources seem to indicate the Atari VCS/2600 sold 25 or 30 million units through it's lifecycle.. But I also found a 2004 video of Joe Decuir where he says 50 million units were sold "as of the middle 80s, the last time I looked". (Forward to about 22:03, specific comment about 15 seconds later). I'm curious which number is more likely? (P.S. Just to be clear - I'm a big Decuir fan -- it's really awesome he's still involved in the community, and appreciate his amazing engineering contributions over the years.. +POKEY sound / SIO are just awesome.. so I'm not trying to say he misspoke - just trying to figure out how many units actually were sold).

suspicious_milk Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Joe Decuir probably knows, he's a reliable source. Wikipedia is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
