Soulja Boy Launches 'Pirated' Video Gaming Consoles

And Earns $250k In 24 Hours From It!
SB_Pirate.jpg

Less than 48 hours ago, the famous hip-hop artist called 'Soulija Boy' launches his own branded 'Video Gaming Consoles' and in less than 24 hours earns over $250k from the sales of his $99.99 handheld clone and his $149.99 xbone clone, which are really both just pirated $20 china-produced clones, with the handheld one including over 3000 games and the xbone-like clone with 800 games!

As they say, if you can invent a dance, you can invent a game console. The notorious Soulja Boy recently became the first rapper to dip his toes in the untapped market of gaming, springing the official "SouljaGame" console upon the unsuspecting world at large. Though many immediately took to ridiculing the device, others respected the rapper's gumption in attempting such a bold product launch. Still, many questions arose, still persisting as we speak. Is Soulja meaning to compete with Nintendo's handheld market? Are we to expect a Soulja Smash Bros in the future, in which all playable characters are different variants of Tellem?

The rapper slash businessman took to Twitter to reveal a detailed diagram of the console's skin and bones, as it were. In the same breadth, Soulja proudly revealed he had made $250,000 off his console in fewer than 24 hours. Yet the folks at Games Radar were unconvinced and put on the detective hats accordingly. Apparently, the console variant comes with 800 built-in games, including titles from PlayStation, Neo Geo, PC,SEGA , Game Boy Advance, and NES. The handheld variant is said to come with titles from Nintendo Switch, 3DS, PS Vita, Neo Geo, Game Boy Color, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance.

Yet, as Games Radar points out, the console's manufacturer Anbernic (who retails via Aliexpress) is selling a suspiciously similar product via their website, for markedly cheaper at that; likewise for the handheld version. As of now, it's not clear whether or not Soulja Boy struck a deal to simply rebrand Anbernic's existing product, or if Soulja Boy is engaging in a little bit of the ol' cop-and-resell. In any case, Soulja Boy's hustle continues, and there doesn't seem to be much anybody can do to stop it.

But the big question now is how will Nintendo and other gaming companies react to the fact 'Soulija Boy' has basically launched 'retro-emulator' clone consoles into the mainstream world, the same way big 'N' did with their official Mini's, but these are clearly not authorized boxes, so will we soon seen this world-famous rapper being dragged into court or will Nintendo turn a blind eye to it!

What timeline is this

The wrong one.

So maybe Soulja is going to run with Kanye for President? I mean, you have to start a trend of failing, lawsuits, and sucking the dick of your ego somewhere. Also, notice "Trump Game"--clearly, a wise decision that led to where he is now.:creep:




Serious, I hope this doesn't set other things in motion, like Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse becoming a crack-cooking rap duo or Hillary Clinton becoming a fashion designer.

If he's attracting this much attention than I expect that he'll be sued very soon because Nintendo won't let this slide.

Man, I wonder what kind of people would fall for that scheme anyway, hell, is Soulja even relevant nowadays?

Fun fact: I own the real, Chinese version of the SouljaHandheld thingy, it is decent after you mod it. I find pretty funny to see he would use it instead of any other cheaper emulation handheld.

Nop my friend just was excited at the moment of the announcement. Dont want to make this believe but I am just excited and have no intention of harm others, if you want I can delete the message post.
No, no problem.
But be aware that the price is a big scam, buy it somewhere else.

I hope he did make $250k off of these clones that have been around for some time on aliexpress (and even amazon). He's going to need that money when they sue his talentless @$$!! Nintendo shuts down sites for distributing roms for free....how do you think they'll feel about a "celebrity" selling their roms on a bad clone! What an idiot.

I've almost bought that console (from Amazon or AliExpress) just to gut it and make an odroid emulation system out of it. I've watched review vids on it and it is (as expected) total garbage! However, the case is pretty nice and would make a cool retro station project.

As for Mr. Soulja is concerned, I hope they rip him a new one if he does indeed collect money off of this! Not only is he screwing himself with Nintendo, he's also screwing the people that would shell out money for these when they could buy them much cheaper online. What a dou*hebag!!

Some fact checking would be great instead of a poorly written meme... but what would I know? I'm just a neutral party.

I did check facts:

so, fact: Tronald Dump put his two-shades-lighter-than-a-Valencia-Orange orange "face" on a Monopoly-Life crossover; he probably made some money...but, keep in mind, Dump released his game 29 years ago and look at where he is now ( :wacko: :shit: ).

Soulja is totally gearing up for a presidential run.

Ok, "Orange man bad". We get it. What does this have to do with the topic at hand? Why did we need to make this into a discussion about politics?

Okay, you're a "Truppet", we get it (and even if you aren't, you don't get it.)

The comparison of Soulja copying a game (system) and eventually running for PotUS and Dump copying a/or more (board) game and eventually running for PotUS......similar!
(oh, look, we found a clue!)

Do you see what I did there? I took a hue similar to the "fur" color of Blue...because it was a clue!


Realistically, I thought the comparison was pretty evident?
I don't know....I just know a lot of words:rofl2:.


Please, don't even try, just walk away. Robbing a stagecoach in Valentine is a better investment of time.
