Could the overwhelming success of this pocket-size virtual pet -- 40 million were sold worldwide -- make this the strangest cultural phenomenon ever?

I wasn't going to click the link anyway, but I'm for sure not going to now. I will not condone any list of this sort that does not have the NES on it. Does it at least have something like the Atari 2600 on it as a representative?

Intellivision had better graphics than the Atari 2600, but not nearly as many games. Its keypad interface was just too sophisticated for its time, like the three-button mouse.

The Intellivision was pretty badass and very much overlooked. I loved playing that thing at my grandma's house.

They also have Pong a little further down the list.

70. ATARI PONG C-100, 1976
It played only one game, and that game sucked, but how much time did we burn in front of our little black and white TVs, spinning paddles and watching that tiny block bounce around? Ah, memories.
