DL content was an Xbox idea since day one and I wouldn't be surprised PS as well. They couldn't pull it off at the time and this time they think they can.
So at least in this regard, the phantom was capitalizing on the nextgen consoles frenzy, not the other way around IMO.
Anywho...the phantom is flawed in so many ways, it's hard to take serious in ANY context and I cringe at the mere mention....yikes...
