On May 21, 1984, during a press conference at which the Atari 7800 was introduced, company executives revealed that the 5200 had been discontinued after just two years on the market.

The Atari 7800 ProSystem, or simply the Atari 7800, is a video game console re-released by Atari Corporation in January 1986.

The 7800 had originally been designed to replace Atari Inc .' s Atari 5200 in 1984, but was temporarily shelved due to the sale of the company after the video game crash.

They justified this relatively low ranking ( though higher than every other Atari console save the 2600 ) with the summary statement: " Its delayed release, its cancelled peripherals, and a lack of financial backing from the company's new owners all combined to ensure that Atari 7800 would never see any success beyond being a sexier way of playing Atari 2600 titles.

The Atari 7800 ProSystem was the first game system from Atari Inc. designed by an outside company, General Computer Corporation ( GCC ).

The project was originally called the Atari 3600, though was later renamed the Atari 7800.

In response to the criticisms of the Atari 5200, the Atari 7800 could play almost all Atari 2600 games out of the box, without the need for an adapter.
