And speaking of bad timing, let's talk about how Atari flagrantly and arrogantly ignored Japan's console market. Their systems did not line up correctly with the 3rd and 4th generations and didn't even attempt to compete with them directly. They were spread too thin even before the crash with the 5200 and the XE line. If we're forced to put Atari consoles into generations, both the 2600 and 5200 are 2nd gen systems but then Atari released the XEGS well into the 3rd gen. Why? It would have been WAY cool in 1982 instead of the 5200. Not so much in 1987 as an alternative to... Who knows what it was supposed to compete with?

Anyone here know exactly what the Atari 8-bit computers (pre-ST) have to offer over simply getting an XEGS?

It appears to be the Atari XEGS.
