It doesn't matter if the price isn't as high as we think because of inflation. I don't care if $200 back then costs $351 now, especially since my income hasn't increased since then.
I'd hate to respond twice, but I got curious and looked it up. The people that made it, PowerVR, realized that the market was dominated by ATI and Nvidia, so they decided to concentrate on mobile solutions, rather than compete with giants.
This is what happened, according to the article:
The STM PowerVR3 KYRO II, released in 2001, was able to rival and beat out the costlier ATI Radeon DDR and NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS in benchmarks of the time despite not having hardware T&L. Unfortunately, as T&L hardware became a standard requirement for games, the KYRO II lost its performance advantage and is no longer a safe investment since many recent games do not support it.
The Genesis, NES, and TurboGraphx16 werent online (well, the Genesis was with XBand eventually), and some of the most innovative, playable games were released on those 3 platforms.
If I want a router, I will buy a router. If I want a video game system I will buy a video game system. Making something more expensive by adding features that make absolutely no sense is not going to get my to buy your product.

Whoever gets Earthworm Jim better get it right.
Robot soldiers? This must be to counter what North Korea has.
It's ok. One day, Slashdot will show a video of the demo failure, and you can burn it on HD-DVD+RW!
Yeah, I recall Mario with a similar suit, except it could go underwater!
WOPR says "Have it yor way!"
Why not help both? Google gets a network for its messaging client, AOL is now influenced partially by google, maybe opening up Oscar in the future?
I wonder how many minerals you need to mine to make a block in the Walk of Game.
Wow, I misread that as "The Death of 360." A little early for that, huh?
As soon as it can run windows, DUH!

Phew. I thought I was the only one that read it wrong the first time.

I liked that card too. It was cool, because some websites would misspell it "Kryo II," and I could tell people the card was named after me.

What games are you interested in for any console that aren't sequels or remakes?
The price of the Xbox 360 and one game at launch comes out to $360. Coincidence?
Isn't there going to be some sort of Unix failure in like 2038? How can it be the future if that's true?
So you're going to drop another $250? $250 is a lot of money just to play Super Nintendo on the go...

No, they mean De-Siging. As in removing your sig. Take off every sig.

Teacher: Can I see your homework?
Student: My dog ate- er, the article was a dupe, so I couldn't do it.
Teacher: groan...
Well then you're probably not interested in getting a PS3 because Ken Kutaragi himself says it's not a video game console.
The article uses the word "probably" when discussing the agreement. Since when is "probably true" make something confirmed fact?
You have your own internet? No way!
