Only 3 consoles can successfully compete at a time. With Atari

>Or will Atari just fail to make any impression like the steam machine or Ouya
Obviously this.

Atari is retro, but not cool retro that normies like. The oldest thing they like is the NES.

Atari will die

All of the above.
Atari trying anything just further proves that consoles are dying

>>381942514
Atari's console is being crowdsourced instead of them partnering up with someone.
Doomed to fail already and the prototype hasn't even been unveiled

>>381942791
Normies but whatever they can play their sports sims/shooters on.
If Atari can supply then they have the normies pegged

Ataribox will fail hard considering how the company isn't as rich and productive as the big 3 and their IP selection is near worthless and niche.
The last few games they've released have been shovelware like Centipede Infestation and Pridefest
At least Ouya-Tan won't be lonely anymore

People who think that Atari's new "console" is going to be anything but their answer to the NES Classic are fucking delusional.

>>381943170
EA stopped supporting the Wii U after a short while and even now people are skeptical on how their support for the Switch would last.
They aren't going to support the Ataribox

>>381943271
They could always just make a new batch of IP. And just because they don't have a lot of money doesn't mean they can't succeed; just look at Sony.

Out of the current big three Xbox is definitely the first two fall and anyone saying otherwise is delusional. That being said, Atari is going to flop hard and it isn't going to affect the holy trinity of consoles in any way.

Sony was a fucking juggernaut in the electronics market when the first Playstation came out

>>381943815
This is what I don't understand, doesn't Sony technically have the least profits out of the current big 3 but somehow are developing the biggest AAA games and the widest variety of games in general? How dose that even work

>>381944080
>when it came out
Yeah but now they are laughable when in the face of Samsung

>>381944284
That's what I meant.
They started the Playstation business when they were huge and afterwards managed to keep a loyal fanbase to help keep the Playstation brand healthy.
Atari doesn't have that benefit.
For fucks sake, they're really just Infogrames who just bought the name to save face.
Everyone knows Atari's just a name these days

>>381942791
>Or will Atari just fail to make any impression like the steam machine or Ouya
this.

At best it will be a plug-and-play with full indexes of their previous consoles.

At worst it will be a shitty console with absolutely no support.

>>381943815
>new batch of IP
But they lack the development resources to do so

shig

Nintendo is competing alone in this generation at this time, lets wait for the xxxboxxxx to see who wins this new generation of consoles

>>381945805
half of those games were just remakes of arcade games changing nothing
the other half of those games were critically panned

Atari is going to win because it will be backwards compatible with all the old ones including the Jaguar. They will be in 4K

>>381942514
Atari doesn't exist anymore. Some nobody just bought the Atari name

Those games mostly turn a profit, and most of the triple AAA games play it safe, even by big budget gaming standards. The intresting suff get a much smaller share of the budget.

Most of Sony's losses comes from other departments like the Koreans udercutting their electronics and the neverending trainwreck that is Sony Pictures

Funny when you consider that the Japanese drove out most American electronics companies by undercutting them in the first place.

Reminder console wars are against the rules. Please do your duty and report and sage this thread and others like it.

K-Pop and K-Dramas popular as fuck these days with young adult women
How the fuck can people listen to that trite and watch it.
It's the Asian equivalent of Mexican soap dramas

>>381948893
I wish we could give a reason for reports.

I cant wait until Sony Pictures death

>>381942514
Isn't Sega supposed to be releasing a new console too? The fuck is going on?

Anyways, Atari doesn't stand a chance. Sega might, based on nostalgia alone, but no one has nostalgia for the company that almost killed gaming.

Though in Segas case, their games are available on third party hardware, so that's a tough sell too

>Flaming/flagrant "fanboyism"/etc. will not be tolerated.
>Threads should not devolve into flamewars. Instigating or encouraging such activity will not be tolerated.

I think we're at the point that a home console that isn't an Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo platform probably isn't viable as a major commercial product. The big three are too well entrenched.

>>381950691
Yeah, I know how the rules work.
I just wish we could specify that kind of stuff

>>381951031
Agreed. If only hotpockets listened to metathreads for once instead of deleting them, we would have better, more specific rules, and the cancer of this board would decrease.

can we stop calling infogrames atari? just because they took the corpse and started wearing it doesn't mean they are it.

>>381950957
Yeah, console launches are always very weak but the big 3 can coast by for a year or two until the console has a decent selection. It's a huge advantage that would be very hard for a newcomer to weather.

>Only 3 consoles can successfully compete at a time.
Says who?

>>381950957
I totally think another console could be popular in places that aren't america, the Xbox sells like ass worldwide

Nigger, that Atari machine is a retro throwback console like the SNES mini. Its competing with Jack and Shit. And Jack left town.
