About Atari creating a software company to sell to other systems,
look at it this way.

For example, SuperBeta still is the best 1/2" format (without going
to a hi-res format, that goes to ED Beta), but Sony thought (I'm
being very speculative, and simplistic, but it makes sense) if we
can make money selling the other format, why not?

So, if Atari can make money selling programs to other systems, why
not? Atari has the rights to games, for example, that would sell to
other systems, like Qix, Food Fight (a favorite) and two I'd love
to see for the ST, Ball Blazer and Rescue on Fractalus (A real time
fractal generating space adventure.
