just wondering, what u mean by no.2. u mean anti-piracy measures?

anyway, the set-top box is not my idea, its my ideal console. subscription works for cable & satelite TV, and now online music stores, so maybe casual gaming is next? the actual ppl behing the phantom might have been crooks but doesn't mean the proposed business model wasn't feasible.

the phantom lives on (at least, spiritually via XBLA);
right now, XBLA is doing well, i believe the licensing fees are also very low. cutting out the middlemen of advertisers, distributers & retailers means most of the money paid by the gamer-consumer of XBLA games goes straight to the platform holder+publisher(if there was 1)+developer. i believe XBLA games are also tied to 1 owner (1 account) making used game trading or renting obsolete.

what ikanayam say is correct la... u come here with some homework then u just expect ppl to give u idea like that... u shld start 1st la... give wat idea u have... then we see wat we can suggestion some more...

sucks la... u piss him off oredy... i see he quite good at this kind of tech stuff wat... can give u good idea... wat u said there is not idea la... tat is just topic for discuss.... idea is like wat kind of R&D, wat kind of specs, wat kind of ciplak protect it have... tat kind of thing...

jus look at ps3 lo... all nex gen tech... but dunno can win or not now... so many things must consider la...

Things that u need to think of (my silly idea):

- console name
- console spec = high end or middle end or low end, price(console and game), size (design)
- target market (ur marketing strategy)
- easy to develop or not
- special feature compare with other pesaing(consoles)..

mine just one answer

- a truely best game libraries

or u can come out console that can play PC games heheheheh

ok ok, my other idea, implement VR head mounted display + gyro controller/gloves... imagine.. driving cars.. piloting aircraft.. play an FPS.. twist camera/views by just turn ur head.. and STEREO SCOPIC views

Virtual Boy?

First of all, Thx for everybody ideas..I'll take my time 2analysis 1by 1 and see it can fit it or not.

weedrocks, i don't mean 2hurt anybody feelings, but he might not "understand" to that question, so i assume he get piss off that way. I did listed out standards coz i put there "guidelines for console 2develop", not the "other" way round. Coz if i were 2explain all the standard it couldn't list all here also, right? Btw, the stuff u mention also is belong to those 3ideas

Acougan, yes, it can be a part of anti-pirated too coz it's a standard there too.

P.S: Maybe the title is too "complicated" for everybody..not easy 2understand if glances once time
