[comp.sys.atari.st] Atari's position in the U.S. Market

Metalist@cup.portal.com (Bryan Jones Woodworth) (06/01/91)

Atari's image in America has never been great, has it?  Now I hear that STart
is going bi-monthly?!  Ok.  But let me ask you out there:  Will the Atari
situation ever IMPROVE?  Or will it continue to decline?  (You can assume
this is a rhetorical question.)

Aw, what the hell, my account is expiring soon anyway... :-)

Well, I view Atari from a pessimists' viewpoint so keep that in mind.
Atari's earnings are horrid.  The company is in deep debt.  Their
products are not selling very well (just read an article that stated
that Portfolio purchases are falling off dramatically too) compared
to the past.  With the exception of Portfolio advertising, there
basically is NO ad campaign.  Their products are late to market
compared to comparable products from other companies.

What do I think is going to happen?  Take a wild guess.

Enjoy all,

Chris

p.s.  Putting on my asbestos undies now. :-)
