Infinium Labs Phantom Unveiled In August

Posted by simoniker on from the to-infinium-and-beyond dept.

Jerek Dain writes "GameSpy.com has an article about the Phantom console from Infinium Labs with some new information. Apparently it will make its big debut (complete with proof of its existence) at the Ultimate Gamers Expo in August. But from the sound of things, can it really compete with gamers' PCs?" Of course, our previous story on the Phantom mentioned prototypes would be available in March, but we suppose delays never hurt anyone, as long as a product has good support and decent game quality when it does ship?

    Seriously, who will want to play PC games on an console that will quickly be obsolete and unable to run the newer and more powerful games? The thing will have even less then a regular game consoles life expectancy.

    Besides, I really doubt the libary of stuff they claim to have. Unless the console is just a Windows box, I really doubt they will get all of the PC games ever published on that thing.

    Can you imagine the kinds of work that will be needed to get the OK from every publisher, company, etc to put the games on it? I sure can't.
