The Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as the E3 conference is taking place in Los Angeles this week, where all the players in the gaming industry will come together to showcase their latest products.



Responding to Microsoft’s challenge, Sony on Monday showed off rich, action-packed new PlayStation 4 video games, some for virtual reality, as it defended its crown as the top-selling new-generation console.

The website for the Ataribox, which surfaced on Friday has nothing except for a short video, describing the new device as “a brand new Atari product. Years in the making”.

Although the website looks a bit shady and no official Atari channels are linked to it, the Ataribox is real, as confirmed by a company’s representative to The Verge.

No other information is available on the website about the product. Hence, we have no idea if it will be a new age gaming console that will take on PlayStation and Xbox or a mini console like the NES Classic that Nintendo released late last year.

Despite the timing of the release of the teaser, it is highly unlikely that the product will be unveiled at E3 this year as the company has not planned any announcement yet.
