Atari was producing home video game machines before long, I guess, but if they sold ~x00,000 units, that was an awfully small percentage of the population.

Some people had (non-kit) microcomputers ~1981, but again, that was an extremely small percentage of the US.

Yeah, but 50 years ago, Atari's home video game machines were still 5 years in the future.

I wasn't there, but going by Wikipedia, 1972 was about when they started doing something.
