this would of course ignore the one offs like iWin, TT, and a very few others who have dared to buck the ongoing trend of same-ole-same-same-boring-AF-no-design-effort-whatsoever don't believe me, just line up the last 50 or so ATX/mATX cases released by any/all case mfgr's in the past 3-5 years, side by side at 20 feet away with their name badges removed, and I dare you to accurately tell me which one is which. They all look alike, and are practically identical, with only very minor differences. ![]() Game consoles are just like most pc cases nowadayz. It would appear that history is repeating itself when it comes to Atari's success and not in a good way, as the company had a net loss of €5.4 million this year. Atari is apparently planning on launching new games based on its intellectual property, as well as getting into NFTs in the future, in addition to potentially licensing its brand to third parties for new hardware products. This suggests that the company went from selling around a million units to selling around 10,000 units, based on the retail pricing of the VCS. The company is offering its current stock at a 20 percent discount, to anyone that would be interested in throwing away their money.Ītari's revenue from sales of the VCS and its accessories dropped from €2.3 million last year, to an abysmal €0.2 million this year, or a drop in revenue of 92 percent based on Atari's latest earnings report. The company is said to have cancelled all of its "existing VCS manufacturing contracts", which means that after its current stock is sold out, it's unlikely that the company will make any more VCS consoles. What can only be summed up as one of the biggest failures when it comes to gaming consoles, the Atari VCS, is coming to an end, as Atari has decided to pull the plug.
