Well it looks that way in North America anyhow sounds abit interesting.

If what they say is true it's bound to stir things up abit and maybe a lawsuit or two...:wtf:


EDIT: Heh I know it says no game talk but doesn't fit anywhere else and I wanted people to see it. Sorry if you still think it's in the wrong place. :)

Well, 33k games in the making.
The mass of them could be Pong remakes. Doesn't mean it's a lie.

Pong remakes, yet no compliations?!
Obsurd. I want to be able to play Paddle pong, Space pong and Beach Ball pong on one package..

Especially since it's easy enough for smaller children to undestand, yet hardcore enough for us who remember the Flock of Seagulls..

And while we're at it, why doesn't the site just go ahead and send me my GAME ON DEMAND? o_o

Wake me up when March comes, and all I hear is that my Dr. Pepper's flat..

Did anyone notice how the image isn't a photo but a computer generated image? And did you notice how similar the controller is to the Xbox? And how there were no buttons on the console? And how would you be able to play pc games on it when pc games usually install and console games don't? A console doesn't have a registry like a pc does it? You cannot play a game that needs to be installed without installing it, therefore you would not be able to play pc games on it. But I'm still interested, why would they bother doing all this for the fun of it? Indeed, they could be making the most powerful games console so far, but there are some things which seem a bit far fetched. I myself don't like the look of the console but that doesn't really determine anything. Gamespot are a big company (aren't they?) so they would only put up things that are true wouldn't they? I'm not saying it's bull until I know for sure. :cool:

... And consoles nowadays having Hard Drives means we can't play PC games on them?
It'd just...

Bah, I don't care.

Please, nobody's going to buy that. They're spoiling the triangle too, we don't want four systems on the market. Maybe Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft will sue their brains out, since it offers multi-platform capabilities. :D

But then again, multi-platform? It would be kind of nice to be able to play games from all three systems...

"Cross platform capabilities" may explain the number of games but still, does not sound right .:head:

As I said on Codejunkies, the image is just a photoshop effort and a poor one at that. I think Gamespot are losing some creditibility by not actually refuting the claim, so are some other 'respected' websites.

People would need some solid proof of this console's potential before they bought it anyway. Sounds like a load of crap.:wtf:

No one could make 33000 games without anyone knowing abouyt it. It takes a year at least to make one good game. Just how many people are working on this?
Its a load of bull.

It should take at least two years to make a game console, even longer if you want it to be any good. How have they kept quiet about it?

ya and peeps arn't gonna buy it as its not a know company, if it was true all they have to go by is word of mouth by people who have bought it :| and it would of bee advertised on tv if it was coming out at the end of the year :rolleyes:
