[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Rumored Atari 68000 Game Machine

Has anyone heard anything about Atari producing a 68000 based
home video game system?  Rumors flew several weeks back, but
I've heard nothing new lately.

Specifically, if such a machine does/will exist, I was hoping to get
answers to these questions, before I settle on buying a Nintendo
or Sega:

    * How does it compare to the Sega, Nintendo, and Atari XE systems
      available now?  What are the specs for these 3 machines,
      and what are they for the new, rumored Atari box?  Along these
      lines, what kind of input devices (light gun, 3D specs, etc.)
      will be available?

    * When will it be released?  (Rough guesses -- plus or minus
      1/2 year -- are welcome).

    * How about cost and projected game availability (within, say,
      1 year of release)?

Post or e-mail replies.  I'll summarize if the response warrants it.
