Atari took on Apple in the 1980s home PC wars
That makes sense. The Apple IIe was very popular when it came out in 1983 and it's also when the Atari began to lose sales to the Commodore 64.

Commodore actually had a good selling machine (PET) and a hit in the VIC-20. The VIC-20 was the first personal computer to sell over 1 million units.

I'm aware. The VIC-20 was my first computer, but it didn't really compete against the Apple II or Atari 800, or even the Atari 400.
