Not a chance in hell. This new console is probably going to a flashback product like what's Sega done with the Mega Drive and Genesis.

I do not see this competing against the juggernauts of MS and Sony.

Atari is not Stupid, they got to have a good plan and product to try to enter the console world. More competition the cheaper will be for us :D

This is a joke..right?

More than likely it's a flashback console

I got my Atari 2600 in 1978 when I was 7 years old. Been hooked on gaming ever since :)

Well, since they are basically new to all this and don't actually have much money it's highly doubtful this will succeed.

Yes, the name Atari isn't new to this, but the company calling itself that now really is.

I'm pretty sure it will overtake Xbox in sales though I'm not sure if that's considered a success.

Pong 4K

I'll just wait and see what it is first.

it would be dope if it was. I'd consider it if the hardware kicked ass and it had plenty of 1st/3rd party support. would be refreshing to have another company take a seat at the table with new stuff.

I am not optimistic, but I think it would be awesome if it did. Great comeback story right there.

Hope so. We need some competition over the 4 mains

I want Sega to come back :( But Atari is welcomed as well.

if they sell a quality product and services as far as online I might bite. All they need is 3rd party support and they're basically as good as microsoft is. I can see why they thought they could enter the ring too if Msoft can get away with their current offerings.

Actually, if Atari made an update to the Atari classic portable

with a new Dpad, adds a nice screen, updated the games to 16 bit level or above, allows you to connect to a TV and do something like ad hoc 4 player, I think I would definitely be interested.

Seeing asteroids, frogger, star raiders, yars revenge, breakout, warlords, adventure, space invaders, missile command, tempest etc with updated looks would be cool. Get the license for some games of course.

It would be like going from this

Make it better than the PS1 game

To this

I'd definitely buy it.

I welcome a 4th combatant.

Not after the stench that still wreaks from the Jaguar......64 bit style.

i hope they will do good atari it might make sega take notes and return also

Time will tell but i sure hope so :)

Sega with built in alex kid....

Awesome!
This should be fun. Can't wait to see how they plan to become relevant in this saturated market.

A modular console maybe.
I wonder what unique experiences they are planning, if any.

It will suceed cause people will buy it if anything to collect.i dont think its guna be sold everywhere like ps4,x and switch.

Should be interesting how it all turns out tho

It would honestly be dope.

99% chance it's a bunch of Atari classics on it.

Move over PS4,switch and Xbox Abox is going to take over with all those classics like pong, ET and more 👇🏽 👇🏾👇

So basically I think it will come down to the software pushing adoption rates. It will depend on the exclusives they can produce 1rst party, and the 3rd party titles they can obtain.

This is a very confusing decision.. What AAA devs can they scoop up to make games for them? It doesnt seem to be a mini console with multiple games in it so idk whats going on here..

Will be an absolute, unequivocal flop.

It's not gonna be an actual game console to compete ps and xbox, i think it's just a mini console like mini nes. Which has a collection of atari classic games in it.

I'm not sure the gaming industry has enough room for a FOURTH console option.

Atari will dominate everything

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
