After so many years, Atari looks to me like an empty travelling label : not the same company, not the same people, no continuity, no legacy... just a label being sold and bought by Warner, JTS, Hasbro, Infogrames...
When people think of Atari, they recall Pong and other great games, the ST computer line... the current Atari company is not related to any of that: Nintendo, IBM or Apple ensured their continuity over time and may "re-enter" older markets.
Atari is not "re-entering" anything: Infogrames is just re-using an old mythic brand and intends to start a hardware business.
