The Xbox brand has been getting tons of headlines over the last 24 hours, and not in a positive way. There’s been plenty being shown and said during Gamescom that makes many wonder what the brand’s fate will be going forward. Naturally, the team is attempting to “wave off” any “misgivings” that may appear obvious, including by trying to cloud the news with some reveals. For example, Microsoft dropped a trailer highlighting three new types of Xbox Series X/S models that players can get. Each has its own “unique variation” to separate it from the others. Here’s how they all break down.

This Gaming Console Sold 158 Million Units, and They Don’t Even Make It Anymore

There must be at least a few retro gamers with lingering nostalgia for the Atari 7800. The modern-day Atari is betting there are. The company’s Gamescom 2024 follow-up to last year’s landmark 2600+ is not the beleaguered 5200 but 1986’s Atari 7800. Just like its previous recreation console, the new 7800+ can play your attic’s worth of dusty cartridges for the near-40-year-old console, but it has the added benefit of wireless controllers and extra-backward compatibility with 2600 games.

Atari has unveiled the 7800+ ($129.99), another miniature retro console that this time brings the more powerful 1986 system to modern gamers. Like the Atari 2600+ before it, the 7800+ is a dead ringer for a real model hit with a shrink ray, and it has an HDMI output for connecting it to today's TVs.
