The producers only had a permit to dig for a couple hours if I remember correctly. In that short span they found thousands of games, consoles, and other Atari related products. The exact location of this 'burial site' was well known and documented.

It was not just a 'general landfill', and there is no other 'landfill from the 80's' that contains such a large volume of Atari merchandise anywhere else. An entire warehouse of stuff was buried there.

Looks like this will be an interesting movie, especially the investigate part involving them finding the dump location. I don't understand why so many people here seem disinterested in it.

Once the hole is completely dug out, they will begin filling it with Wii-U stuff

For those calling "hoax", these carts were buried in a desert under several feet of soil and perhaps even a layer of cement that was poured on top.

If they could find the Dead Sea Scrolls, I don't doubt that some 30 year old plastic video games would also be able to survive in a similar climate.
