Over 40 years later, video game consolidation puts a definitive end to an early console war

It's taken over 40 years, but an early console war finally seems to have entirely fizzled out as the last embers have been completely extinguished following Atari purchasing the Intellivision brand from Intellivision Entertainment LLC with rights to over 200 titles and the Intellivision trademarks. The two brands previously butted heads in the late '70s and early '80s, but that's all just history now.

According to the announcement, Atari intends to expand the physical and digital distribution of Intellivision games in addition to brand and licensing opportunities. Additionally, there is apparently the possibility of entirely new games, though it's unclear what, exactly, that might look like.
