Hack Jandy writes "AnandTech has some pretty interesting follow up information to last week's sneak peek and discussion concerning VIA's attempt to penetrate the console market. By the looks of it, the S3 DeltaChrome GPU is horribly incapable of making VIA/Apex a formidable gaming console." More on vaporware at CES: Bob Gortician points to this "interesting, if terse, piece on the Phantom game console's debut..."

    Calls for a Highlander-esque "there can be only one!" death match are usually only by fanboys who can't see that there must be more than a single "winner".

    How about "there can be only two?" Hell, i'd settle for three if Sega decided to make a new console. I just want to see Microsoft crash and burn. Their console sucks in my opinion (especially in respects of the controller) and their marketing does as well. Especially the whole "Nintendo is just for kids" thing, (which i don't know if Microsoft has been officially pushing, but which has certainly been part of the whole unofficial fanboy thing) and the implications and/or outright statements on Microsoft's part that they're in 2nd and Nintendo is in 3rd by beind selective about what marketing data they use.

    Why does everyone make such a big deal out of Sony's backwards compatibility with PS1. PS1 didn't even HAVE good games. Crappy frame rates, low replay abilities. Seriously. If that's Sony's only arguement is "i want to play my old games" then what the hell? Chances are if they have the old games, they have the old console too. Am I missing something?

    You're almost right, Nintendo is for kids and people who play games to have fun, not to determine their dick size.
