Atari teases a new console

>>379642785
Let me guess without watching the video
>nvidia chip
>reskinned android OS
>shitty digital ''''app'''' store

It's gonna be either
>shitty retro console to cash in on le nostalgia
>android console or something akin to it

>>379642951
anon what part of "tease" you didn't get

>>379643338
The part where I'm supposed to give a fuck

>first look
>can't look at it
epic can't wait for this flop
also it says product not console so I bet it's a VR set or some shit

I think its going to be like the NES mini

>>379643754
exactly this. Wood panelling is OG Atari 2600 tier.

The question is whether it'll be 2600 only, or a much larger atari library.

>>379643443
>I clicked this thread just to shitpost :^)

>>379643754
can't wait to play donkey kong and et on that shit then

>>379644117
>it's a throwback Atari 2600 mini
BUT
>it only plays ET

The devil works at Atari confirmed.

>>379643839
Why not try and rival the current gen consoles?

>>379644354
You really believe Atari has the money to do that?

>>379644354
Unless you have a huge amount of money, it's currently not possible.

>>379643754
came here to say this. i hope you're right. i'd laugh if it's an attempt at a current gen console though.

Why do other companies even try to enter this market? Sony and Microsoft have already dominated to the point where no other consoles can join, and Nintendo could get knocked out easily if they make another hugely bad move.

Now atari advertisement in new bladerunner movie makes sense

>>379645167
>Microsoft
>dominated

>>379642785
Lmfao, fuck Gaytari, if they think they have a chance to compete vs PlayStation, Xbox and Shittendo, then they are delusional. Fuck Gaytari consoles, fuck Sega consoles.

>>379644354
OUYA

All Atari games in one box.

Too bad they ALL suck.

>>379645678
Could you BE more of a nigger?

>>379643754
then i can't wait to buy-- oh, it's already sold out? i'll just wait for the next shipment then

>Nintendo knocked out
as long as nintendo own all there ips they won't even come close
>b-but the wii U failed!
so did the virtual boy and the game cube was not their biggest hit either
there is absolutely no way in hell nintendo would go down you thing everyone one will just give up on pokemon, mario. kirby etc
and just switch to uncharted and halo?
simply cause nintendo make a mistake?
even when the Wii U failed the 3DS was doing great
>why?
cause of their IP's (plus there competitor kind of died)

>>379648223
Nintendgays are so desperate

>>379649406
can only reply with a insult gg my man!

>>379645153
Doesn't Atari only have a handful of employees left? They don't have the resources to make a console

>>379642785
If 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 it will be a Steam-Machine sort of Linux box that will get <5/10 reviews.
If 2, 4, 6, or 8, it will be the prophecy - foretold console to end all PCs and create the next console generation

Yeah probably just an HDMI-capable Atari 2600.
If they're smart, they'll do it as a half-console. Use a system of microSD cards to release collectible games, maybe some indies, or some small-time new first party content (ET 2 anybody?)

>>379645167
Microsoft already has a foot in the grave. If anything they're on their way out, and somebody has to replace them. Atari makes sense, but they need to handle it PERFECTLY if they want any sort of ground to stand on.

>>379642785
>Scorpio tier console from Atari in 2017/18
The 2600 and 7800 were pretty good. I wouldn't mind giving them another chance as long as they get their shit together. They're a tiny company nowadays, though. No first parties

They saw how much money Nintendo raked in with that mini-NES.

>Atari think they can capture the NES mini market
>they don't realize that they themselves have been releasing mini Atari's for decades and no one gave a shit

Can this shit company just die already? Stop holding all of those properties hostage you dumb fucks.

It's not first party.

>Can this shit company just die already?
They published Witcher 1 so they're good for something.

Would be hilarious if it actually turned out to be a very powerful console. I know the chance of that happening is minuscule, but it would still be hilarious. Probably an Android-based product though. *sigh*

>>379651348

Pretty sure they did die. Now it's just some parent company wearing the old Atari skin to try to bank on nostalgia. Except nobody really gives a shit about Atari because anything worthwhile they had can probably be played better in some shitty flash game.

>>379652059
Atari made them cut out the nudity and forgot to include CD Keys in most of the packages.

>>379652414
Ok nvm I hate Atari now.

From Atari's wikipedia page
>"Frederic Chesnais, who now heads all three companies, stated that their entire operations consist of a staff of 10 people.
>On June 22, 2014, Atari announced a new corporate strategy that would include a focus on "new audiences", specifically "LGBT, social casinos, real-money gambling, and YouTube"
It's nothing.

I doubt anyone would want to get into the console market now
Most "gamers" are moving to PC
While the casual audience is going to mobile.

>>379643754
haven't they already done something similar before?

Many times

They were the first to do it if I remember correctly

Also the flashback they did could be modded to actually play carts

>>379642785
>wood finish
Visually a nice touch but screams 'all we can do is recycle old ideas'.
Still. If it's an actual new console there is one thing that might give it a real chance if they have the sense to do it.
Free online. I know I'll never be a big enough chump to pay someone else to use the internet connection I already pay for and I am sure there's plenty of other non-retards in the world too. They could potentially make a killing with multiplayer games that have no extra cost beyond purchase, something other consoles ain't doing right now. This is, however, the only possible thing they can do to stop this being an absolute joke.
