@Ralizah Exactly what I thought. I can't see this thing being remotely profitable. I expect them to get slapped with reality on how overpriced it is and end up being forced to lower it down to half it's current price just to get them out the warehouse.
I'm not too optimistic about this project to be honest. It's already such a niche product, and it costs almost as much as a Nintendo Switch, with much less actual functionality. The delays due to the chip shortages doesn't bode well for them. I guess we'll see what happens.
The tree huggers crying about "ThE eNvIrOnMeNt!" aside, I'm not feeling very confident in their physical console still not having a release date. Seems the more I hear about amico, the more worried I am about their success.

Re: Intellivision's Wii-Like Amico Console Gets Delayed For A Third Time
It's like seeing a train wreck in slow motion. Like, you just know this thing is going to fail hard, and it's not even out yet.
