    First the heavy sixer then the light sixer ,the four switch ,vader ,and the jr. Why didn't they just keep making six switch versions all the way through the life span of the 2600? No other console had so many changes.

     

    The original design is complex and probably cost 3 times or more that of the jr to produce the shell.

    Even the 2 moved switches early on would have saved a few bucks.

     

    Also throw in the fact that the original case is over twice as volumous as it needed to be with deletion of inbuilt speakers.

     

    Visual appeal lost out in the end. The design alone makes the early models collectable and displayable, the jr just looks like any other piece of cheap electronic junk.

     

    The 2 moved switches are the result of the new (cheap) all-in-one motherboard. The result of this revision is a bad picture quality on all 4switch models. The 2600 JR picture quality is almost as good as on the 6switchers...

    Is a list of countries availablle, in which the Atari 2600 was sold and in which years?

    That's not the Jr. in the video, so it looks like the 2600 was sold in the Eastern Bloc before 1990.

     

     

    ...or Tramiel-Atari Corp. offered the unsold inventory of Vaders in the "Eastern Bloc" after 1990!
