All this talk. PS3 this, X-Box that, Nintendo whatever.

Well there's another consol, called Phantom by Infinium Labs.

Rumors were around this consol in 2003 but now it finally looks like it's going to come out. Performance wise, it's inbetween the Nintendo and X-box. It's a nice looking unit but i doubt it can compete with the 3 'big boys'. Although it'll be funny if it destroys them all - like how PS1 destroyed Super Nintendo

You know, i've been following E3 pretty closely and i haven't heard a word whispered about this console. Was it released at E3??

I heard some out rageouse things about this system, one of them was that it could play games from the ps2 and x-box and play PC games, but that was two years ago when development started for this thing.

I wonder if it's based on that 3do system a while back.

The only reason SNES got beat was because it had 2d graphics, while the ps had the 3d graphics. Also FF went to sony's classic machine, while SNES bit the dust. The only way that phantom will be beat is if it has some groundbreaking feature that won't be available for a couple of years.

Aren't you guy forgetting a system that is memorable to true gamehead's, the Sega saturn blew my mind away when it came out, then all of a sudden ps1 comes out and everybody forgot Sega did the 3d thing first. Also the Dreamcast R.I.P the best oddball games I ever played in my opinion.

u can thank sega bad publicity for that

Publicity maybe I thought they had plenty they got my attention, to me it's just gamers have bad taste in my opinion, Sega and Nintendo always had high quality games but for some reasons generic crappy games like Halo even FFVII (which I thought was not that special compared to other FF games before it) appeal to people. Sega time after time put out some great games (except for sonic) I dont know if its because noboy heard of them or simpleton games like Tekken which sucks compared to Virtua Fighter just appeal to other gamers.

its still coming out?! that company got sued by so many other companies that im suprised theyre still in business... anyways from what ive heard, the consoles free(!) if you sign up for their premium monthly subscription and that will only let you download movies and demos; full games cost more(!) so yeah its gonna be a wierd contender but has potential.

agreed! halo is way too overhyped, FFVII sucks period(and for all you fanboys: yes i played it its too dumb for me), and sega and nintendo make awesome games that get overlooked cause the graphics suck or something :/
