Except it was outsold by the Commodore 64 (5-6 million Apple 2's sold, 17 million C64s + 5 million C128s). Even Vic-20 sold close to 1 million. The Commodore PET sold 4000 units in 1978. The Sinclair Spectrum ZX sold about 5 million units.
Given Apple's revenue of $7.9 million in 1978, and a base price of $1300, Apple sold about 6000 Apple 2s in 1978. So I guess on that basis, Apple II > Commodore PET,
but the history of 8-bit home computers was written by Commodore. Everyone else is a footnote.
