It's some kind of revenge to play Super Mario Bros on the C64 with an original new NES controller from Nintendo!
I got the new transparent case too, waiting for the MechBoard64 keyboard and new Keycaps!
The VIC-2 chip also has it's upsides, even if the palette and 2-pixel-wide 4-color mode is weird; the community today is the most active and it's growing:
Maybe better ads? Maybe parents thought a computer from a "business machines" company was better than one from a video game company?
The 800XL OS and disk system were way better. The BASIC was better, though slower. The 800 keyboard is better than C64 which is slightly better than 800XL. The reason is that although the C64 keyboard is mushy, you can type faster on it for some reason.

Edit:
Atari: "by November 1983 one toy store chain sold the 800XL for $149.97"
C64: "In June 1983 the company lowered the price to $300, and some stores sold the computer for $199."
So it wasn't price, I guess software then!?
