However, just as with the arcade version, the home version of "Pong" drew a number of third-party hardware manufacturers to make "Pong" clones on the market, to a point where it was estimated that Atari's "Pong" console represented only about a third of sales of home "Pong" consoles. Magnavox continued to pursue action against these "Pong" clones using the three patents, estimated to have won over in damages from suits and settlements through the lifetime of the patents. However, threats of lawsuits did not prevent more clones of the home console systems from being built, as these dedicated consoles were relatively risk free and easy to manufacture. This led to a flooded dedicated-game console market, and creating the industry's first market crash in 1977.
