Indrema vs Xbox vs PS2

Blond_buzzkill writes "Twin Galaxies has this article introducing the IES and comparing it to the other consoles. Most informative, however, is a chart comparing the Indrema's hardware to the Xbox and the Playstation 2. The article also says the IES will go on sale in Spring 2001, a bit ahead of either Gamecube or Xbox." I'm still pretty excited to see what comes of Indrema. I'm still waiting for the converged media box, and they've got as good of a shot as anyone.

  1. Why the PS2 was so delayed. by AFCArchvile · · Score: 5

    Here's the article from The Register on how Sony's Nagasaki plant switched to .18 micron and essentially fudged up the release schedule.

  2. Skeptical. by CrusadeR · · Score: 5

    Despite how I would like things to turn out, I still find it difficult to believe Indrema can compete with the Microsoft/Nintendo/Sega/Sony marketing machines for share of what will likely be a saturated console market in 2001/2002 (Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, and XBox).

    Moreover, I am perturbed that Indrema has yet to announce anything with regards to developers or titles that will be available at launch.

    I wish them the best of luck, but don't hold your breath for a miracle.

  3. Some conjecture by DunkPonch · · Score: 5

    Let's conjecture about the possibilities of two theortical systems which have been projected for release sometime in the future. By doing this, we hope to resolve any unforeseen potential issues before they manifest themselves in a non-hypothetical form.
