Ray Kassar, CEO of Atari, says every Atari 2600 owner will buy at least 3 copies of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial!


Awesome. Reminds me of when Atari produced more copies of the 2600 port of Pac-Man than there were consoles on the bafflingly over-optimistic prediction that people would rush out and buy a 2600 just to be able to play it.


100%. How is this even remotely considered newsworthy.


Technically man selling shit and shovels. Or is it shovels that make shit.
