[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 10218810, member: 203855"] I didn’t say that. Hardware design does not work like the Apollo 13 mission - management doesn’t roll in with a box of miscellaneous hardware they bought on a yard sale, they don’t spill it onto the table in the R&D department and say “here’s what we’ve got, boys - we need us a console”. If anything, the designers have the first say since they’re cranking out concepts 24/7. Those designs either get green lit for development or they don’t, they get pitched just like everything else in a company does. If something does get green lit, you build a proof of concept - a device that kinda sorta does what the designers envisioned, usually using hardware you happen to have on hand. To give a good example, early Wii demo units were just Ganecubes with extra RAM slapped on top because that’s what was available, and it was the remote that was the star of the show. The 360 was demoed on two PowerMac’s strapped together with good wishes and fairy dust.
