YaZoR Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 heheheh erm its a flop in its own right. no one cares about the console (enough to make it worthwile its existance). and for a start its headed by that bloke whose had 6 bankrupt businesses (correct me if i'm, wrong). it won't even do as good (poor) as the dreamcast did imho.

They only canceled it because Sega was in deep debt and they needed a smash hit like PS2 or PS1, all they got was a strong seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forster Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Phantom pwns j00 :D I really want it to do well, but I've already said that a couple of times before :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Atlantis Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 I think in all of out minds we want it to do well, but there's that certain few that like to put down things. Or they just go of past experience of the company. Which I agree with. But you have to give them credit for reaching so far already... And for the price of these things it's either a hit or miss. They either sell well and the company doesn't go bankrupt or they don't sell at all and they get another bad mark on there name. --Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaZoR Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 what have they reached??? a few pics of the supposed console and a arty farty cgi movie. wow! impressive, its gonna sh!t all over sony and co. /me rubs chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebsh Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 That design makes me wonder how smart these people are.. they have a "cable in and out" for cable modem... umm.. first of all, why?! then they have a dsl in which is a cat 5 connection... HOW ABOUT you put a USB port and a SINGLE cat-5 connection for CABLE and DSL... no internal cable modem crap and DSL on cat 5... most people will have a cable modem with cat-5 or USB to start with. and haveing a cable out just reduces the signal strength... if you get below -10 db on a cable line, your signal is gona start going bad and fuzzy.. and putting a line out on a cable modem is a big cause of this problem its similar to putting a splitter on a cable line... these people need to rethink there designs big time. that is just one of many many problems ive noticed so far.

I agree, they're designs contain many many flaws. And the broadband idea is so completley and utterly stupid. But as a console, the thought was/is good. And the fact it comes with 50 pre-loaded games isn't such a let down. Unless they end up being Snake and Tetris :p --Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted September 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2003 I definitely agree that there wont be any quality titles pre loaded. Or maybe 1 or 2. All the rest will be like flash game calibur, sure they will be fun. but wouldnt you rather just play them for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad_Enuff Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 So how am I going to play my PC games on it? It hasnt got a DVD or CD ROM drive? Do you think we are ALL going to download our games? No way! If it had a DVD ROM drive I woudl be more inclined to believe its real, until I see any different, it's still fake IMO. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
