it's too bad no one has found a way to setup a legit cross-platform console and retro store.

Your last sentence is actually why a bunch of people are avoiding the Duo (and perhaps why it's still available for preorder, though maybe they're just making them to order). Unlike Pocket, Duo won't have openFPGA, meaning you won't be able to play Saturn, PS1, etc on it, which you theoretically could. That would be the only way to have a legit cross-platform console. Not sure how the store would work, since the rights are so complicated.

In that case, I think it's because licensing. Even if the games publishers were on board, you'd need to have the console makers on board with it as well. IOW, the only reason why it doesn't exist is Nash equilibrium. Capitalism makes it so that the companies involved don't have reason to cooperate.
I ordered a white one to match my pc engine duo r. The US Duos are notorious for bad caps so its nice to have new HW to play on.
