The rest of the world looks down in confusion and asks "who's Atari?"

People kept asking SEGA to come back, and they got Atari instead. Wee!

---

From my perspective, there's a high chance the system's library won't interest me in the slightest so eh.

but this is the first time I'll be able to see 4 consoles on store shelves at the same time so that's something.

Some time in December, 2022, the month of the game's 40th anniversary.

Well, according to Wikipedia, Atari does own such classics as Asteroids, Marble Madness and Pong.

I can see this going multiple ways:
1. Officially Licensed plug-n-play console with a bunch of classic arcade games in a similar vein to the NES Classic Mini. Would probably sell well among Gen Xers who haven't touched a controller since the Crash of 83.

2. Generic Android set-top box that fails to distinguish itself from the multitude of Android tablets saturating the market.

3. Yet another locked down x86 PC with even less exclusive content than the PS4 and Xbone, or another Steambox situation.

4. Something Unique that fails to compete, like other post-crash Atari systems.
