It seems like its a throwback console(a la NES mini), unless there is something else they plan to announce.

You might want to look at the trailer again. The Ataribox and Atari Flashback are completely different concepts. The Atari Box has USB slots on the front, top is flat asides from what might be air flow vents. Also there has been some reports that it's a "modern console" that has nothing to do with vintage or classic games. Though nothing has been said on it's specs or capabilities.

It might be coincidental but the Atari logo in the new Blade Runner movie could be product placement as it uses the same Atari logo as the Ataribox which is white-light with square cuts in it.


Is it a new console? How will Atari compete with the 3 giants? What can they offer that is new and convincing enough to take a piece of the market share? Your guess is as good as mine...
