  • Hasn't this already failed months ago? It's basically a low powered Arm system at the same price as next gen consoles …

    • 5 seconds of Google would tell you otherwise.

    Here's the Wikipedia entry with specs:

    • 14nm AMD Raven Ridge 2 APU (basically older Ryzen with Vega gfx)
    • 8GB RAM
    • 32GB flash memory that's upgradable

    and that's it. A $699 PC from budget builders like these would run rings around it.

    Didn't Alienware and Valve try something like this? A console/PC hybrid that was backed by big brands and it still failed.
    This is wayyyyy too pricey, it's gonna flop hard

    • Yeah, steam machines were absolute garbage

  • Looks like you can already pre-order at EB Games
    $700 for the console alone or $850 for console with controller and joystick

  • +2

    Comes with 100 atari games that will motivate you to never play it again and ask for your money back.

  • could give them a run for their money.

    Lol thanks for the laugh

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Interesting concept, but needs an exclusive/major titles to make it succeed.
    Then again Atari were responsible for making more ET cartridge games for the 2600, then there were consoles worldwide.
