第二段：The console boom started in 1980 when Atari released the ''Atari 2600"' game console. Atari had a brilliant gimmick for its sales campaign. It included a free copy of the game "'Space Invaders" with every Atari 2600. Space Invaders was extremely popular at arcades at this time so consumers were excited to be able to play it in their homes. As a result, Atari 2600 sales skyrocketed. Other companies jumped in to the video game console market and produced their own consoles for sale. Home computers such as the Commodore and the Apple series were also becoming popular because they could play games and use other kinds of software. Video game consoles and personal computers were in nearly every North American home in the early 1980s. Although the market for video games had reached the saturation point, many companies ignored this reality and kept manufacturing consoles and new games at breakneck speed. A collapse was imminent. 選(B)
