Well, one being a what $600-$700? Original MSRP Computer and the other
being a $200 Game System.. why would you?



After some careful consideration, Jack, I am going to have to reject
your logic.

After all, the Atari 800 was comprable both pricewise and power wise to
the C=64, and yet they compare the Atari 5200 with the Colecovision,
and Colecovision wins...

Think about it...


The Atari was always *much* more expensive than the Commodore equipment, at least where I was from (Northeastern Ohio). The Atari 800 was something like over $1200 for an 800 and 810 disk drive, where the C64 and 1541 were only $199 each.
