And Earns $250k In 24 Hours From It!

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!

rump.

Or are you obsessed with me? If you reply, you lose.

(I'm not obsessed with anything; I'm possessed by Dybbuk.)

In a weird twist of events, I totally think "Sonic the Souljaboy" will start sticking if he gets out of the console market.

Just a little more weird, I'd buy a Soulja'sole (or conjasole) if Soulja 100% truthfully made a GBA account.

This talentless little turd will hopefully get what's coming to him. I personally have no experience with that psp/vita clone p.o.s. that he's selling, but I almost guarantee it still has roms on it (most likely NES roms and more). IF he really is on Nintendo's radar then selling something that looks like a SONY product but contains Nintendo games on it will still land him in big trouble with Nintendo!
It's really sad that this so-called entertainer has to resort to such foolishness. I don't know if it's just to get his name in the news for 15 minutes or if he really plans on making money from his venture....either way it's pathetic. This unit sells for $30 from Chinese sellers yet he can sell them for the great price of $100 (not even bothering to put his own logo on it and think he's doing something worthwhile! He better go back to school to learn how to be a proper "mogul"/"entrepreneur".
