Pong may well be the first commercial home video game, but in typical Wikipedia fashion, it was far from the first. The first commercial video game, period, was the infamous Computer Space arcade game by Nutting Associates in 1971.
Pong, wasn’t even the first Pong game. That honour goes to William Higinbotham and Robert Dvorak, with Tennis for Two, using an oscilloscope as the screen during an open day at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1958.
If I remember correctly, aside from experimenting in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the first actual interactive video game was Alexander Douglas’s OXO from 1952.
