There are a lot of consoles that were rumoured in the past, that never actually came out.

1.M2 - It was rumoured to come out a short time after the N64 and be more powerful.

2.There was a console last year that was supposed to compete with Xbox, PS2, DC and GCN. I forget what it was called, but it was supposed to be 600 mhz.

3.Also, last year, there were tidbits of information released that a console b Mattel and a car company (I for get which one) was going to be released, and was going to be 1.6 gigahertz.

Whatever happened to these? Also, can you think of any other rumoured consoles that were never released?

1. I believe that evolved into the Nuon, which actually was released.

2. You're referring to Indrema, an open-source Linux based console. They couldn't find funding for it, so they had to cancel the project. They were over budget by 4 million, i think. They you also need people to mass produce it.

TuxBox is also planned. Doesn't stand a chance of ever coming out. All they did was take various PC parts and throw them in a box. It's not like Xbox, I mean, this is truly a PC in (and out of) a box. Take a look: http://www.tuxboxproject.com/images/..._prototype.png

ROFL!
