Can we please talk about some of the things I mentioned in the above articles in the original post?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_3DO_Company
For some reason I thought the guy's name was "Trip Wilson" but it turns out it was Hawkins. He was the founder of EA and in 1991 designed a company to market a prototype for a video game console that could generate 3D graphics prior to the release of PSone. Psone came out in 1994.
The important thing to note is that the 3DO company didn't have a manufacturing end to the process, allowing companies that bought in a license to produce their own console based on their specs. There were at lest two versions released.
I remember one of the games released by EA that wasn't a sports title: The Immortal which blazed a trail on Apple II GS , Sega Genesis, and NES.
EA since then has done lots of inscrupulous things.
