Part of the next generation of home computers, the ST battled against the [[Amiga]] for supremacy only for both to lose out to the PC. Never a direct rival with the [[CPC]], the ST was seen as more of the next logical step to take in your home computing habit and no doubt many former CPC users made the jump to Atari's machine.
For its time, it was an interesting 68000-based computer. It was cheaper than the Amiga and there were no color Macintoshes. 2.1 million units sold (USA only?) according to wikipedia, other sources claim up to 6 million units sold worldwide[https://atari-owner.com/club/articles/atari-8-bit-units-sold.23/ Source].
