So something that every one soon forgot about after 2006 and a well know vaporware.
There was 1 though...so, it is a physical thing...

I haven't been able to find any updates on it sence the company's closing in 2006.

Is anyone else interested in this or vaporware in general?

I've seen various games and movies go missing or just disappear, but an entire console? I am definitely interested in this, 100%.

Most sorces say "it was never made" but there's no documentation about a prototype. Obviously it's there in the video, so where is it now? It has that adwsbsp feel. Though I fondly rember 2005 e3 when they covered it again. It just kinda stopped getting talked about.

Not an one-of-a-kind, but still rare.

Consoles? Too many dissapeared. Example? Konix Multisystem.

"32-bit processor"

I just love how he says that as footage of a generic racing game that would barely pass as Sega Genesis quality plays.

Nope. Samsung's 3DO suffered the same fate as the AT&T 3DO. The Toshiba 3DO was neve made. It was supposed to hook up to your car as a GPS and a portable console like the FM Towns Marty. It would have made the 3DO popular.

Image of the Samsung 3DO:

Images of other rare 3DO systems from a french magazine
