Console Tycoon lets you see if you really can do better than the big manufacturers, coming soon

Ever dreamed of running your own gaming console business? With Console Tycoon from Roastery Games, you can turn that dream into a virtual reality. Starting from the nostalgic 80s, you'll navigate the evolution of the console industry all the way to the present day, building your empire from scratch. From crafting your console's design to launching it on the market, you'll also develop peripherals and enhance your technology as the decades roll by.

Pre-registration for Console Tycoon is now open on both iOS and Android, and with the game set to launch on February 28th, you won't have to wait long to dive in. This upcoming title promises to test your business acumen against giants like Sony and Microsoft, but hey, at least you won't face the pitfalls of something like the Ouya, right? Before you consider remortgaging your house to start a real console business, why not give Console Tycoon a spin and see if you've got what it takes?

Roastery Games has carved out a niche in the tycoon genre, though some fans have pointed out the repetitiveness in their gameplay mechanics. Critics argue that with a bit of effort, you can easily dominate the market. Nevertheless, Roastery Games boasts a dedicated following, and Console Tycoon is likely to attract enthusiasts eager to design their own futuristic "PlayBox 420" or similar innovations.
