I feel like Atari is putting the cart before the horse here. They’re revealing and launching way too many hardware products when anything and everything under the sun (including a plethora of their own licensed products) can and does play basically the entire Atari library of games already.
What Atari needs to focus on right now is polishing their brand after it’s been passed around like a… well, best not to say. That comes in the way of putting their heads down and really focusing on delivering solid, polished SOFTWARE experiences to build up a fan base first. These aren’t the 80s when there’s little competition in the console space anymore. You need to do more than make a shiny video about some new retro handheld.
I mean do we really need 3 new ways to play Pac-Man?
It really feels like they’re trying to flood the market with Atari products, and we all know what happened the last time Atari flooded the market.
