Cristofer Pace · Answer 1

No it was not.

Explanation:

The Magnavox Odyssey was released around September of 1972, a few months before the famous pong; the ping pong game was released. The Magnavox Odyssey and the ping pong games were the two most popular game arcades in 1972. There was competition between these two games in terms of sales. In comparison to pong, Magnavox Odyssey sold around 350,000 units only. Bad marketing strategies led to its failure in commercializing the game widely.
