Details
The Colecovision was introduced later than its competitors, the Atari 2600, Philips Videopac and the Intellivision. Therefore it was technologically more advanced and more performant. The quality of the graphics was substantially better. It was sold in combination with the game Donkey Kong and became popular very rapidly.
After the 1983 Video Game Crash sales dropped substantially. Coleco also made the mistake to produce a home-computer (the Coleco Adam) as the successor of the Collecovision, instead of an improved video game console.
Production was discontinued in 1985.
Total sales was over 2 million units and a total of about about 145 games were released.
