Atari's throwback console Ataribox looks like it's in trouble. 。
The Ataribox, first revealed in June, was supposed to go up for preorder Thursday, but the preorder was unexpectedly delayed the morning of, Engadget reported. According to Atari, the delay is because the console is taking a bit longer to make than expected. 。
SEE ALSO:We know what Ataribox will cost now, but the numbers don't add up 。Based on the design of the Atari 2600, the $250 to $300 Ataribox will run with a Linux operating system and be able to run mid-range level PC games, but not modern AAA titles, which is a huge red flag — that price tag is not cheap and most people reserve spending that type of money on modern consoles that can run new games. Plus, Atari is hoping pay for the project through crowdfunding which means Atari wasn't able to drum up its own outside investments. (Side for Atari: Crowdsourced consoles have a 0% success rate.) 。

Based on the Ataribox's price, Atari's specific mention of its compatibility with mid-range level PC games, and no mention of old Atari games, it seems that Atari is trying to position the Ataribox as a brand new console competing in the market against Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. 。
That's a rough market to break into — many companies have tried and failed — but the fact that the Ataribox has been delayed and the company will be looking for crowdfunding in the spring does not bode well for Atari's entry into the market. 。
