A bunch of dot-com failures started it up.

They formed the company in October.

Nothing to see here people.

By cross platform capabilities, they mean it can run PC games as well as their specialized games.

Their console is essentially a budget PC. No, not in the sense of Xbox, but literally. AGP slots, PCI, etc.

I see one key problem with this new game console. It's name.

"The Phantom" ?! come on. That's a corny name even for a superhero. A console should have a cool name, a catchy name. It should also be a trademark, not a generic word (unlike the pc word for example ).

compare
"check out my new leet X-box"
with
"check out my new phantom"

The road to failure is paved with good intentions.

I'll wait until M$, Sony or Nintendo co-opts them.
