Never owned any Atari systems have played a few games from them and what they have done here is
1). Attempt to appeal to nostalgia, look at the comments in this topic alone to see how well fond memories of by gone days of console gaming affects people
2). Show us a dummy box and then tell us absolutely not a damn thing about what it is meant to do.
No matter the console could look like a freshly oiled Christian Hendricks but if the games it plays are like ET (lets remember THAT was one of Ataris) then no one is going to want to buy the thing.

If it's something they can bring out without the sort of investment that Sony and MS regularly do then I can definitely see nostaligia help something like this be a success.
I was on my lunch last week and got distracted by this shop window, was nearly the most expensive lunch ever lol.

For me it looks more like a design exercise than a real product, right now the console market is a pretty though one, many consoles on it an many big players, of course Atari can't go play with Sony Nintendo or Microsoft, they could try some nintendo mini-classics move but we are still speaking of big money that probably Atari doesn't have

Atari...
Is not even Atari anymore, they are Infogrames who renamed themselves to Atari when they acquired them.
Seeing the crap they released lately i have no hopes for this.

Maybe it will be like Ouya?

We had many Ataris. We had a 2600 (console), then an 800XL (PC) and finally a slim 130XE (PC) before our 1st 8086.
I'm intrigued with where this may go.

Do you really want to buy something to play space invaders? I would buy if it had 4k HDR @ 60Hz.
