The '''Atari 5200''' was introduced by Atari in 1982 as a replacement for the famous [[Atari 2600]]. It was mostly created to compete with Mattel's new [[Intellivision]] and with the [[ColecoVision]] shortly after its release. It can be argued that the 5200 was technologically superior and more cost efficient than both of its competitors, but a number of design flaws halted the system's success, leading many to the conclusion that the 5200 was a failure. | The '''Atari 5200''' was introduced by Atari in 1982 as a replacement for the famous [[Atari 2600]].
