They’re selling for 20% off at Atari.com, bringing the starting price down to $160 for a VCS console alone or $240 for an all-in-one bundle that also include a joystick and a modern controller.

Atari points to a decline in "cartridge activity" to account for this drop, as well as "underperformance by the VCS." Overall, Atari reported a 27% decrease in revenue from the same period last year.

The biggest question we have about the Atari Gamestation Plus is how it will be priced. Without the streaming and download capabilities of the Atari VCS, it will, we hope, be much cheaper than $300.
