They were getting their butt greased by Commodore with that game, and Beachhead for the C64, so they upgraded to get extra color and slightly more memory.
Added trackball support as well.
And then Commodore's Administration lost sight of what they were there to do, and couldn't market water to a thirsty man in the middle of a desert.
So they went belly up.

Interesting--didn't know all that. I remember my best friend got the 5200 and we thought it was the coolest thing :) I didn't even have a real Atari--we had a cheap Sears equivalent of the 2600.
