Remember the hype behind the new console coming out called Phantom? It was supposed to be the biggest thing since drinking water. Well, looks like there is going to be a delay with the release of this next-gen console. Hmm, Phantom. Seems to be an appropriate name for this mystery console.

Infinium Labs has put back the release of its PC-based games console and accompanying broadband content delivery service. The move was made at the behest of the company’s “marketing and retail partners”, who say the original 18 November launch date won’t favour the products.

You’d have thought that entering the US market in the run-up to Thanksgiving and Christmas would be ideal, but no, Infinium’s partners reckon a post-holiday launch, when potential customers will be buying for themselves rather than others, makes more sense, GamesIndustry.biz reports.
