Soulja Boy took to Twitter to reveal a detailed diagram of the console’s skin and bones and the progress in sales. Soulja proudly announced that he had made $250,000 off his console in fewer than 24 hours.
The people at Games Radar were unconvinced and put on their detective hats. 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.
Games Radar points out, the console’s manufacturer Anbernic (who retails via Aliexpress) is selling a 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 copy-and-resell. Soulja Boy’s business venture continues to thrive regardless of what the naysayers have to say about it.
