I don't even know what separates the first two generations of home consoles - it's just an amorphous blob of Ataris and Collecovisons, and other shit I've vaguely heard about but never played.
Second Gen was mostly defined by swappable cartridges instead of built in games
So the old Pong and video pinball games were first gen, and the Atari consoles are second - makes sense!
Yep! The big advancement was general purpose cpus instead of purpose built logic that allowed swappable program roms
