Ataribox presale canceled

Earlier this week Atari announced that it would open the presale for Ataribox on December 14, something that has not finally happened after the company's decision to delay the new platform.

Ataribox needs more time

Atari would have sent an email to potential clients to inform them that more time is needed "to create the platform and the ecosystem that the Atari community deserves. " For now no more details have been given so we will have to wait for the next few weeks to know more details about the new Atari console.

So far it is known that the Ataribox will use AMD technology in both graphics and processor, so it seems more than clear that it will be based on a company APU like Xbox One and PS4. It is also known to work with a Linux-based operating system, although we don't know if it will allow its applications and games to run.

The great mystery is in the catalog that the Ataribox will have, on the one hand it is thought that it will be a retro console focused on reviving the old glories of the video game industry, it is rumored that its price would be 250-300 dollars for what it would be a console too expensive for this purpose, a Raspberry Pi does the same and we can get a complete kit for less than 100 euros.

On the other hand, a new console is being considered to rival Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, although it seems too complicated for a fourth contender to successfully join this fight. Be that as it may, we will be very attentive to any news that appears about the new Ataribox, although a delay in its presale does not bode well.
