Muur Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 If it's them getting back into the console wars, I probably wouldn't give a shit I already have a PS4 and Xbox One and I'll get a Switch in like two years for Pokemon, I doubt there'd be anything on a new Atari that I would need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Bro Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Props to Atari for sticking with their wood paneling design scheme... I'll say that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Props to Atari for sticking with their wood paneling design scheme... I'll say that much. Absolutely. The wood grain is the most interesting thing so far. A proper home console that looks retro in design would be a pretty cool thing to see. And, I won't shoot it down just yet. If it plays the same third party games as XB, PS, and Switch, then it's a matter of what Atari can do with original IPs...which I'm slighting intrigued by.

El Imperio Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I doubt it's a console on the par of the xb1 or Ps4, I mean, making a console costs millions of dollars and I don't think atari has got that kind of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a company that's willing to build a console, that can afford to build a console...then they could just be leasing out the Atari name to such an effort. It could be an Atari system via a third party hardware company. Obviously all we have at this point is a teaser video...so it's hard to say. But, yeah...they have said that the system is based on PC technology...which makes it sound perfectly comparable to a PS or XB system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Given the size of the two giants in the industry (Sony and Microsoft) I can't see there being any real third contender unless Apple tried something. Nintendo is a niche provider now - the winner of the next generation console wars for the foreseeable future will either be Playstation or Xbox. The only threat to either is PC gaming becoming more mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muur Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Do they base the "winner" strictly on units sold or what? Probably. Xbox won last gen, PS this - so clearly Xbox 720 will beat the PS5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Do they base the "winner" strictly on units sold or what? It's the main consideration of course, but others are critical acclaim and brand power etc. If one has a "coolness" factor for example. Xbox360 swung the momentum to Microsoft, but the PS4 has so far comfortably taken the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a system mainly for children/casual players and they don't get the majority of the actual proper games that come out. 99% of them are "coming to Xbox One and/or PS4" If we count the Wii, then we count iPhones etc, cuz they play games too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wii is a home console. They don't even put the handhelds in that same category and, to an extent, they don't include PC in that either. The PC vs Consoles thing is something completely different that doesn't factor into the traditional Console Wars. And "proper" is a term debatable at best. Plus "Nintendo doesn't count" in itself destroys the entire concept of the console wars as they won what started the whole thing with the SNES against the Genesis. Now because their core audience changed they don't count all of a sudden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I don't believe the Wii was ever intended to be an entrant in the "console war" of the last generation - it was simply intended to be sold on its' own merits as an entertainment machine. Certainly I don't recall Nintendo ever launching it as anything other than a "fun new product". In effect it's like comparing an Amazon Kindle to an ipad.

Muur Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 If you wanna count the Wii its third. It didn't get any real games. Like, where was GTA? Final fantasy? Call of duty? It just got shit like Wii Sports The Switch seems like it will count again now. GameCube did too. The switch is their first real console in years. Well I guess Wii U as well but Nintendo pretend that doesn't exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
