It's supposed to be the latest, fastest, most advanced system yet. A real step up from PS2, GC, and XBox.
I'll just my hoards of evilness onto it.

Even if it was real i cant see the machine taking any of the spots from the current consoles. It sems to be revolving around the concept of broadband internet. Currently there isnt sufficient broadband rollout to benefit this sort of console. Which is why i think that it is perhaps a console ahead of its time.
and the fact nearly 35,000 games is a tad unrealistic.
No. Never.
If its real, it will sink faster than the Saturn and Jaguar put together....

Yes, I shall indeed spend probably £300 on something that doesn't exist.
The Phantom is clearly a hoax, so no, I won't buy one.
I won't.
It's just a very good well thought out prank.
well done.

All I've seen so far is a picture and a few words on a website. They don't mention at all what type of processor they're using, what components are inside it, it doesn't look like they have any backing at all from anyone, and they seem to be selling it on the premise that it plays PC games, and yet there's nothing new, everything they say the Phantom can do a PC can do as well.
The way things are worded, I'd think that this was either:
a startup company hoping to float on the stock market, make a ridiculous amount of profit, sell up, then leave the new owners wondering how they're going to take on MicroSoft in the US, let alone the rest of the world.
a couple of college students hoping to scare MicroSoft into buying their company out before they can release their product.
a prank: the name 'Phantom' means:
"apparent to sense but with no substantial existence"
"something elusive or visionary"
"something existing in appearance only"
"a representation of something abstract, ideal, or incorporeal"
