In terms of sales, yes it wasn't as popular but as time moved it became more popular then when it was released. Kind of like the Jaguar the Retro HQ is developing and the Turbo-grafx. I was talking in respect to just Atari hardware because mainly we are talking about 5 pieces of hardware (2600, 5200, 7800, Jag, and Lynx) (also don't forget about the computer's) I'm just saying that in terms of the Atari community the 7800 was the easiest of the other systems to grow a bigger fan base, like easier to set up and play; the 5200 had bad controllers and new ones were expensive and can be confusing to hook up if you don't know what you are doing. And there are a lot more systems for people to buy, instead of the jag. There is just in terms of numbers of fans within the Atari community. Yes the 7800 didn't sell well, but in terms of affordability, playability and other things, the 2600 sold far more and has a bigger fan base than the 7800, it is still a distant second.
