Atari founder: Console improvements 'not worth 400 bucks'

The founder of the groundbreaking video games manufacturer Atari has said modern consoles with hefty pricetags “may be disappointing” to gamers.

Nolan Bushnell, whose Atari 2600 paved the way for cartridge plug-in games in the 1970s, said the small “incremental improvements” in consoles such as the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One did not justify the $400 (€303) they sell for.
