In one of the most head-scratching, baffling decisions announced recently, Atari has declared it's intention to re-enter the console market with a new console under it's name.
A strange decision to say the least seeing that a) Atari have been out of the console race for over twenty years, b) they have been rebuilding as a mobile game developer and c) they pretty much started the whole console crash in the mid-eighties.
This may be easily dismissed as a case of 'Your mouth is writing a check that the rest of your body can't cash' but a fourth horse in the console race? Why not? We haven't seen that since the sixth generation so why not release a cat among the pigeons to shake things up a bit? The Steam box has more or less been a failure so why not?
I mean it may lead to another Great Gaming Crash but hey, gotta ditch the dead wood....
