The rest no longer partook in the video game industry.
There were only 18 manufacturers to create consoles past the first generation. More than 200 different companies were involved in the first generation, and while more than half only released one console, it was still a large number of companies compared to the 20 that partook in the second generation. This led to a family of clone consoles that had their CPUs in individual cartridges. While these consoles mostly disappeared from America in 1978, in other regions of the world-most notably Europe and Japan-these consoles were thriving because second generation consoles did not have a strong presence. However, the plan ultimately fell through and the Game Brain was canceled, as it would create confusion with their more successful console. The transition was abrupt, so manufacturers scrambled to replace or sell aging tech.Ītari considered creating a second cartridge console to implement their surplus of processors from their dedicated line of consoles, which took the form of the Atari Game Brain to be released in 1978. Rather than purchasing several identical consoles that occupied more space and required connection to the TV, being able to purchase new, improved and different games for the same console at a lower price led to the fall of dedicated consoles. This was due to the existence of cartridge-based consoles, like the Fairchild Channel F one year prior, the popular Atari 2600, and many others that were available on the market. While the video game crash of 1983 led to three years without innovation and furthered stagnation, the video game crash of 1977 was a more instantaneous event. The Coleco Telstar Arcade tried to implement Coleco's previous dedicated consoles into one, with little success. The only difference was the Sears branding: Name changes are most commonly exemplified by the Sears Tele-Games line, which consisted of existing Coleco, APF and Atari Consoles. An example is the Binatone line that was released simultaneously under the names "Mentor" and "Tokyo". Many consoles were copies of others, had very similar form factors with different inputs, or were distributed under different names in different regions. This led to many consoles being nearly identical in name, possibly leading to market confusion.

Nintendo's first console, the Color TV-Game 6, has one of the most generic names, sharing every element often repeated in other titles.
