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!

Last time I heard about Soulja Boy, I was listening to high quality rips.

So, when/if goes to prison, is he going to change his name to Prison Boy? Inmate Boy? Piracy Boy?

Did we move back in time by a decade? When was the last time Soulja Boy was actually relevant?

I think they squashed it, if not I really haven't heard anything about it lately.

Never heard of this Sonj until I saw this article plastered all over fb! From what I have seen, he’s buying Chinese Handheld units in bulk, slapping his logo on them and reselling them. He is acting like a Chinese bootleg store only from the US.

If you bought a video game console "made by" a rapper, you deserve to be ripped off.

Yeah it won't be more than a week before Nintendo files a lawsuit. This kind of shit flies in China, but nowhere else.

First Two Minutes Is A Laugh:

I've come up with a great business idea. I'll make a few hundred thousand dollars selling some shitty emulator with some built-in pirated games. I'll spend the money quickly then declare bankruptcy after I get sued. I'll stay in school for a few more years and after 3 years pass the debt shall disappear.
