After watching the video a couple times, the Ataribox clearly has a design similar to the classic 2600. I seen a lot of posts on forums speculating it’s an android device, I would doubt it since that would tie it in to Google and force internet connections, and an online store, and quite honestly I won’t buy it if it was tied to android or something like that.
My guess is that it will play 2600/7800 games and new generation games on carts, but with a modern video/HDMI output since it would be stupid to do an RF channel 3 or 4 type output today. if they went for a all new platform with online stuff then it’s going against the PS and Xbox with no background other then the Atari name, and that’d just be stupid. Atari’s strength is it timeless games, with out that included what’s the point….
