Is nobody going to talk about the fact that Atari re-entered the console market?

Oh so Infogrames are entering the console market. They took their time. Now we need Square Enix to release that PS3 killer that people were talking about after they consumed Taito 11 years ago. Play FF7R only on the Square Enix Eternal Sphere.

Hmm, I forgot Infogrames owns Atari.  If they were to pursue the Ubisoft buyout that everyone's been talking about, that could make a new Atari console a lot more interesting, although I don't think Ubisoft or Atari have the skills to sell first-party hardware on a huge scale.

I'd like to see Atari put a big arcade-gaming focus on this thing, that could differentiate it from the competition.

Ubisoft does make some great games (even if they are...well..becoming their own genre in a sense, for obvious reasons), but simply because they would absolutely never make their games exclusive to a "Ubisoft Open World Machine GX", the console would be a seriously niche product.

Consoles are a very saturated market, another serious entry will find it very hard to exist in it.

Your big arcade gaming idea sounds very solid, though.
