Lots of rumours floating around as Atari looks to re enter the market with their new offering, this is what they've sent those on the mailing list. No idea where this fits as far as taking a slice of the market share. A balance of old and new games is happening but how powerful this thing will be remains to be seen.
First look at the Ataribox design.
Thanks again for signing up to learn more about the Ataribox project!

We’ve been blown away by the feedback since the teaser release, and today, we’re excited to share an exclusive first look at the Ataribox design with you.

Our objective is to create a new product that stays true to our heritage while appealing to both old and new fans of Atari.

Inspired by classic Atari design elements (such as the iconic use of wood, ribbed lines, and raised back); we are creating a smooth design, with ribs that flow seamlessly all around the body of the product, a front panel that can be either wood or glass, a front facing logo, indicator lights that glow through the material, and an array of new ports (HDMI, 4xUSB, SD). We intend to release two editions: a wood edition, and a black/red edition.

As you can guess, those ports suggest modern internal specs. It also means that while we will be delivering classic gaming content, we will also be delivering current gaming content.

We know you are hungry for more details; on specs, games, features, pricing, timing etc. We’re not teasing you intentionally; we want to get this right, so we’ve opted to share things step by step as we bring Ataribox to life, and to listen closely to Atari community feedback as we do so. There are a lot of milestones, challenges and decision points in front of us in the months ahead. We’ll be giving you lots more information and status updates as we progress, and we are thrilled to have you along for the ride!

Hope you like where we are taking this, we’ll be in touch soon.

The Ataribox Project team.

I'm sure I'll love the nostalgia of the classics, but hoping there's plenty of new material. I for one can't see this aiming at the ps4, xb1 market share, but has the potential to aim at the kind of market of the switch. The kids, and the mid 30's to 40's trying to re create their youth. Having said that if all I wanted was to play the retro games I'd buy an Atari flashback for $79.
 
You're obviously just to young to appreciate what they were. After saying that there's no chance I'm buying one to play old games lol.

Had an Atari 2600 during the mid 80's as kid don't get me wrong there was a huge amount of good games but also a lot of crappy ones the Atari was getting games left,right and centre were it became over saturated.

I had an Atari as a kid. It was great at the time but I think the games won’t have aged well. Playing them now would ruin the memory.
