Soulja Boy plans to release another video game console

After a failed attempt in 2018, rapper Soulja Boy, perhaps best known for his song Crank That (Soulja Boy), is apparently gearing up to release a new game console. Soulja Boy tweeted “coming soon @SouljaGame.” When you go to @SouljaGame, the latest Tweet says they’re “building a new console from scratch, all new design. All new games. All new offerings. Let’s make history.”

There is also a Instagram account which has three images of this upcoming console, and not only does it look like an Xbox One S or Xbox Series S, the photos also come with a controller that looks a lot like PS2’s DualShock 2.

As previously mentioned, Soulja Boy started selling SouljaGame branded consoles and handhelds in 2018, but they were quickly discovered to be simply off-brand emulators that could be found elsewhere.

SouljaBoy stopped selling these systems within a month of starting, admit that he “had to lead, I had no choice”.

The day before he stopped selling them, he wrote, in a now deleted Tweet, “for anyone who thinks Nintendo is going to sue me … Nothing is going to happen, everything is legitimate. My console is not going anywhere, trust me. “

While this new SouljaGame may have to go against the PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and Nintendo Switch, it will also have stiff competition from the KFConsole 4K, 240FPS which comes packed with a chicken chamber that will keep your chicken warm while you play.
