Fans have been obsessing over the design and look of the new console. However, they have one major problem with the makers. Several fans dropped their admiration for just how gorgeous and beautiful the console looks. Several users also expressed their hopes about winning the contest.

If you were to sell these, you’d make killing and bring in a lot of new people into the ecosystem. You’ve been letting too many marketing opportunities pass you by.

Y’all continue to drop the ball by not making these accessible for customers to buy even if it’s a limited amount.
