XBOX, Sony Playstation II, and GameCube

Right there proves how false that article is. One, they said Sony Playstation II, no one says that. Two, they say XBOX and GameCube, not Microsoft XBOX and Nintendo GameCube, but they did say Sony Playstayon 'II'. If you know what I am getting at, they said the maker of the console for the Playstation 'II' but not for the XBOX and Gamecube. And it is non-beliveable by just using your common sense that this is not true.

They said Sony Playstation II and no one says II. They said SONY, but not Microsoft and Nintendo infront of thier respective console. Is that so hard to understand?

From the looks of the website, it seems as if this company is very serious. But they are a 'startup' company...just emerging in 2003 into the console market.

They have no press releases.. but they do have a long list of events to be attending to. One of which is E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo) May 13-15. But it's going to take a bit more than just some hype from a startup company..and some nice prototype console pictures to impress me. There are not developers signed up with this company yet.

I say BLAH! to this thing. There's no way that it's going to overtake Sony, and Nintendo .. hell even M$.

Well basically you're just nitpicking at a typo. People call things by different names--that's just how it is.

Lets this company outperform Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. Nothing will touch these giants no matter how big it is. The fact of the matter is without the marketing (power/money/company name) of Microsoft even the XBox would have died a slow and painful death.

Nothing can compeat against the established in this market, no matter how great and powerful. This same thing has happened before, and it will happen again. Just look at the Lynx, as far I remeber the Lynx had color while the Game Boy was still a green and black screen.

I understand and support what miikrr was saying. If these type of typos exist then this presents a very unprofessional look at this company. I'm pretty sure that most companies wouldn't make that kind of typo. Also in a couple of years the next gen consoles will be released by the big three and then this console will die, much like Dreamcast.

Yeah, but Microsoft can afford to not profit from the Xbox division where as a new company can't.

Basically Infium Labs is taking a huge gamble by doing what they're doing. IF they can pull it off, and I hope they can, we'll have a monster of a rival on the market.

Me I just do not see it happening. I noticed that only 2 game consels can realy ever be in the market at one time. Sony pushed out sega and either the Xbox or Nintendo going to disapear next (My guess in Nintendo because Micro has more money). But the only reason Sony and Micro soft could even get in to the market was because they are filthy rich and can afford to loss all that money. Plus they had a rep with programs and the it market world. This new complain just does not have the money to get into the market and complete wiht the big boys

Sorry... Nintendo is going to stay put for a long time. They control a market that no other company controls in this industry... The kids... Now if Nintendo ever decides to grow up with that market that could make a huge dent in any company.

A) We know Nintendo can make kids games
B) We know Nintendo makes great games
C) Nintendo has great ideas
D) Nintendo fans are very loyal
