The complete "daily" Ataribox progress chart as depicted above, recorded up to just now, I made an effort to check the numbers at least once or twice a day. And whereas it took Ataribox an astounding single day to shatter the two million dollar mark in its crowdfunding, it took them two weeks to come close to the three million mark... though, I'd imagine that mark will be surpassed by Monday morning if not sooner.

Yes, I'm that specific.

And given that they're limited on stock - stock for a product that doesn't exist beyond a so-called prototype phase, don't forget - I'd be (mildly) surprised if this hits four million by the time this whole campaign is done, let alone reach the Ouya amount of eight and a half million. The two occasions where the number has actually DROPPED also leads me to believe this isn't going to be entirely smooth sailing.

Suddenly, I no longer have the urge to do a video on this Ataribox thing... and it's too bad. I had a fun little idea to play around with regarding stretch goals and things of that nature, as well as toss out a couple potential ideas on how to make this thing work, but honestly, folks? I'd much rather do another E3 video.

Bleh.
