Exactly. X-Box for example, everyone rants about how it's a "stripped down PC" but using that logic, all consoles can be considered PCs.

i'd watch out for this "imaginary" console. there is no solid screens of a real prototype, only 3d renders. and the head CEO of the company has been in several companies that have gone bankrupt and already has a bad reputation in certain investors.

Like the penny arcade said, "its a broken computer" (since it has no CD-ROM)

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was fake. You do bring up a good point. Perhaps Infinium Labs was just trying to create a big hype for no reason. Considering there has been no "real" evidence of this consoles existance, I'm leaning towards your views as well

It seems likely to be a scam, although the very elite 2advanced.com folks have designed one of the videos showing off the Infinium Labs Phantom Console. 2advanced.com isn't known for doing flash designs and projects on cheap money, so if it is a scam artist, he/she must have money.

Check out 2advanced.com, one it's got some of the best flash I've ever scene and two, they made the demo video for the Phantom.

as for the phantom after reading the article above, he could very well be a Phantom

anyone remember the name of that console that tried to come out a few years ago and they went bankrupt BEFORE launching just trying to keep up with The Big Three (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft)... if this company doesn't watch it they will end up the same.

And, just for a little trivia, I actually remember the name of that console. Name that console!

Its a fake console, I read an article somewhere where they did an investigation into the guy that supposively owns the company making it, and hes gone through about 11 companies, all which have gone bankrupt, and many investors lost money through them....

Its just a fraud, very nice flash work though... maybe he should spend his time doing flash for a living instead of ripping people off

Heres the article:
