The 6502 had one feature that made it particularly good for a home computer system, a small delay in which it was guaranteed to not be accessing the bus.
The 6502 was next used in the Apple II family, and then quickly appeared in various Commodore and Atari home computers, the BBC Micro, and a huge number of other designs now lost to history.
The 6502 used in the NES was a modified version (called 2A03 in NTSC-consoles and 2A07 in PAL-consoles the difference being different clock divider) that was produced solely for Nintendo.

The 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor that was used in a lot of home computers and quite a few video game consoles in the 70s and 80s.
It was created for MOS Technology by former designers of the Motorola 6800, which is quite evident in the design.
Unlike the Motorola processors, which are big-endian, the 6502 is little-endian, although that is only noticeable in the encoding of instructions with 16-bit addresses, due to the fact that the 6502 can only access one byte at a time.

The 6502 used in the NES was a second source version by Ricoh, a partial system-on-a-chip, that lacked a binary-coded decimal mode but added 22 memory-mapped registers for sound generation, joypad reading, and sprite list DMA.
The original 6502 and its NMOS derivatives are noted for having a variety of undocumented instructions, which vary from one chip manufacturer to the next.
The 6502 instruction set includes BRK (opcode $00), which is technically a software interrupt (similar in spirit to the SWI mnemonic of the 6800).

The 6502 was originally designed by MOS Technology, a company started by some ex-Motorola engineers who wanted to build a "better 6800".
The 6501 was pin-compatible with the 6800, whereas the 6502 added the innovation of an on-chip clock generator, which eliminated the need for the two-phase clock input but gave the chip a different pinout.
Motorola promptly sued MOS Technology, and an out-of-court settlement was reached in which MOS Technology agreed to take the 6501 off the market but was free to sell the 6502.

MOS' claim to fame was their development and manufacturing of the wildly successful 6500 line of microprocessors which in addition to being used in nearly all Commodore computers and floppy drives, was also the driving force of all pre-1984 Apples.
Chuck Peddle, we were informed commodore.ca that MOS was always pronounced M.O.S. so as not to confuse it with the MOSTek which was a competing company that was also established in 1969.
MOS was able to produce the chips at this low price because they increased their yield dramatically by reducing flaws in their chips 'masks' before starting production.

It was Mensch who spearheaded a re-creation of the 6502 processor into the lower-powered 65c02, which included the additional assembly language opcodes that made it possible to "crunch" the ROM code in the Apple IIc small enough to fit in its additional built-in functions without excessively complicating the design or coding.
The [6502] that was at the heart of the Apple II and Commodore 64, among others, was passed from MOS Technology to Synertek to Rockwell, and it might have faded entirely from the microprocessor scene if it were not for one determined individual -- William D. Mensch, Jr.
MOS Technology was, at the time, the world's largest manufacturer of calculator chips, and it decided to move up to microprocessors.

 Zilog Z80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Z80 and its derivatives and clones make up one of the most commonly used CPU families of all time, and, along with the MOS Technology 6502 family, dominated the 8-bit microcomputer market from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s.
This makes sense as the Z80 (like, for instance, the 6502) was really intended for embedded use, not for personal computers or the, yet to be invented, home computers.
Other 6502 architecture computers already on the market such as the BBC Micro, Apple II and the 6510 based Commodore 64 can make use of the Z80 with an external unit, a plug-in card, or an expansion cartridge.
