The second generation of Game Consoles

We were set the task of researching the 8 generations of game consoles, including popular games, and sales figures. Our table was set generations 2 and 6, I decided against researching about the 6th generation despite it including some of the best gaming titles of all time, as well as the greatest console of all time, (my opinion) the ps2.

The 2nd generation is interesting though, with unknown manufactures popping up to throw their ideas into the mix, many attempting to re-create Atari's success, with the 2600 selling roughly 25 million units, and 115 million games. I made an image showing the main consoles and how they did.

 
It was nicknamed the 'Golden Age' for a reason, with titles such as Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Asteroids all coming through in this generation, games will never have an impact like these titles these days.
