Consider also that there was a lot more competition in its era.
Quote:I've never used an Intellivision, and do know someone who loved the system, but its controller must have its bad reputation for a reason...I don't think it deserves its bad reputation. Certainly, the contoller is more complicated and less aesthetic than controllers that came later, but in 1979, it was a marvel compared to its competition.
