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!

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.

So you're saying Soulja boy is going to be the next president of the United States?

I am not entirely sure why this blew up the way it did. Clueless marketing department buys in suspect quality and legality gaming device and tries to sell it... I have seen this in tourist traps and lower end chains for decades now.

It does seem to be a trend for the commentators/debate moderators to be more skilled than those that are trying to sell their political virtues.

This is the thought process of an idiot who thinks they're an intellectual but really they just copy and paste what other idiots copy and paste. It's sad.

Curious, has anyone in this thread been brave enough to waste money toward a Switch/Xbox/PS4 purchase the "Soulja SwitchboX4K"?

Probably should take your own advice. Repeating yourself doesn't make your argument any better.

I say bring on the lawsuits, he can afford it. There's no way this is going to go any other way.
Besides, it's not like any significant amount of people is actually going to buy this. It'll just be those that buy it to make fun of it, and maybe the odd grandparent/parent who mistake it for an actual XBox One.

Well this is pathetic. Though, it would seem as though those Chinese plug 'n plague manufacturers have finally found a market of people to prey on who don't have the knowledge of what their $10-to-manufacture consoles look like

I just caught wind of the "Souljagame fuze". Now THIS isn't a horrible first step. From what I can see, there are no ROMS on it. If he can drop that damn price, change the UI and maybe do some rebranding of the unit, it could be a good launching point for Soulja's line of Android TV boxes.
