Yep. Years of documented history in books, websites, and documentaries are all wrong. As are the industry people and programmers from that era who are still around, not old and senile yet, and still talk about that stuff in interviews all the time. They're all crazy and just got their information from the big bad Wikipedia. :roll:
I've heard Nintendo was behind it and they payed all the devs to make crappy games for Atari so that they could launch there NES and trick people to believe that they "saved" the video game industry...

From my minor delving into it i've learned that the crash was real but it was only in America. Europe by that time had the Sinclair Spectrum, BBC Micro and Commodore 64 and was doing just fine.
Yes there was a crash, no it wasn't global.
