Forums - Gaming - Any Atari Fans want to see anyone OUT of the console race?

.jayderyu on 15 October 2010

Well as an Atari fan of 2600 and yes the Intellivision too. I vote for MS AGAIN. You can check out my reasoning in the Wii side. If this thread was posted first I would have of course posted here instead.

To relieve concern. My posting for MS out for the betterment of gaming industry as a whole rather than console.  MS is damaging PC developers to push the XBox line. The XBox line doesn't really offer huge benefits to the industry as a whole. Personally I think MS should stick with PC gaming.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Atari fans?

Didn't they go the way of the dinosaurs?

 No. Atari fans actually died

Ahh evidence that Atari fans co-exist with PS3 fans!

is it okay that i was thinking the other day, what if Atari suddenly decided to come back to console making and then kicked everyone's ass back to oblivion where they belong?

Well to be honest Atari as they are right now are even less capable then Sega to re-enter the market. Atari is on the verge of bankrupcy and no longer owns most of their big franchises. All they do now is ports and publishing smaller games none of the other publishers want. They can barely develop any of their own software.

All their known for now is Dragon Ball Z!

Magnavox.

They are the only true competitors to Atari with their Odyssey 2.

I'm not a fan but I do have contacts at Atari's HQ in Lyon.

The old console guard, Intellivision, Atari, Magnavox and Coleco, and the old home computer guard, Sinclair, Commodore and Amstrad, should gang together and kick the crap out of those young punks, MS, Sony and Nintendo!!!   

 

PS And no, I didn't forget Sega, they aren't old guard, they are young (dying by themselves, maybe toxic junkies?) punks too!
