It has been reported this week that Atari will stop making its retro-inspired games console the Atari VCS, which unfortunately for the company has proved to be a flop rather than save the struggling company. Although the games console is still available to purchase at a 20% discount for a limited time with the Atari VCS All-in bundle priced at $240 and the Atari VCS base station priced at $160.
The games console from Atari was marketed as a “completely modern gaming and video computer system, blending the best of consoles and PCs to delight a whole new generation of gamers and creators”. But unfortunately sales of the games console did not reach expectations are now Atari is pulling the plug on the platform and has now cancelled further manufacturing.
