They're both in Redmond and this does not sound like a Nintendo project.

High-demand console platform eh? That can only mean one thing!

Infinium Lab's console.....THE PHANTOM!! ROFL




Actually I think they go back Phantom Entertainment now...if they're even around anymore. If I had to place a bet, I'd say it's MS and not Nintendo that's the mysterious party involved. ;)
