I didn’t even realise the 7800 was ever launched in Europe. What were they thinking of?
It was DOA over here with the NES arriving in volume that year with a massive back catalogue; the Commodore 64, Spectrum and Amstrad 8-bit machines going for bargain basement prices and their own huge catalogues of cheaper (copy able) games; and the Amiga 500 and Atari ST showing what 16-bit machines were capable of.
Poor Atari, they didn’t stand a chance.
