The 7800 is still far from that, even though it may be sufficient for TV sets of the period and, of course, was clearly more advanced than the 5200.

Just how much more advanced though is certainly open for debate, and that's excluding the fact that without a POKEY in the cartridge, the 7800 had far inferior sound to the 5200. Also, Europe was lucky enough to get the 7800 with the gamepad rather than the very poor joystick, which I forgot to mention in my own list of negatives...
