PX-3600 console has an identity crisis

Conner Flynn from SlipperyBrick wrote: "I've seen a ton of screwed up knock off consoles, but this one has to be the strangest. Is it an Xbox, PlayStation 2, 3, or something else? What can you say about a modern console that sports the classic 9-pin controller ports of an Atari 2600 or Vic-20? I can only surmise that crackheads are now included in the design process. ..."

The idea of unified console. One console to rule all. One ultimate console where we can all play Halo, MGS, Uncharted, Alan Wake, Ratchet and Clank, Crackdown, Halo Wars.. Ahh that'd be the day.

Of course, that would never happen. Man is good to want things.

I don't understand why people want a unified console. Think about it, with the 3 consoles, 4 if you feel like counting the PS2, there's plenty of competition between price ranges and games. However, if we had one console only, there would be a monopoly on the market and we would probably see something like what happened with the Atari, there'd be an influx of crap games and console prices would go through the roof because there would be no one to lose sales to.

Do you think MS and Sony would have dropped their prices as quickly if the Wii hadn't been such a phenomenal force? Or would Sony be working so hard at cutting prices if the 360 wasn't so much cheaper?

Maybe it plays Atari 2600 games with rumble...
Or it could even be a low spec PC with SNES emulator or MAME on a lightweight Linux distribution.

Would be cool if it played ps2 and xbox games!

Dont think MS are interested in this one.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
