The Phantom (game system)

Created by Infinium Labs a new video game console, Phantom came what looked like to be the future of gaming. The idea was of a console which could play video games directly from their server through a subscription fee. With Confident ads stating how this would be a revolutionary change within the gaming community supporting a 100 gigabyte hardrive to store games it only felt like it was coming in a matter of time. The project was eventually scraped right before release as they realized that this would create deficit rather than profit because at a small subscription fee, game developers would not be able to produce high quality with the given budget. The Phantom stayed a phantom as it never saw it's release date.
