It won’t be a new 2600, but it can avoid being a new Jaguar
By focusing on a few crucial aspects, the Atari Box can be a moderate success, with strong emphasis on the word “moderate.” The company will never be able to threaten Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft in terms of sales, but if they focus their efforts on delivering a smaller but competent niche console, they might make a few bucks out of it. Here are some ways the Atari Box could avoid being yet another Jaguar for the company:
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
NOT re-releasing Alone in the Dark Illumination, for starters...
Atari could barely remain a competent third party publisher in recent times. I doubt they have what it takes to be a significant player in the hardware market.
"Differently from Microsoft’s Xbox, Atari has actually managed to be a bit successful in Japan once."
When did this ever happen?
has anyone seen this on their instagram? https://www.instagram.com/p... seems like there is two styles being considered.
What the hell Sega. It's either the top of the board is cheap as hell and don't wanna go for a system or statistically there's really no market for them in the home console market. The fact that Xbox and Sony are literally mirror images of themselves in many ways, having something similar to the route Nintendo takes would definitely be a breathe of fresh air. They've got the assets to be successful, shenmue, sonic, and even a whole new power stone can definitely move systems unlike the likes of Xbox which have nothing and are still here
