  • The Viacom Neptune is a home video game console and it was manufactured by the Viacom. It was released on September 31, 2000, in North America, followed by Australia, Europe and Japan in 2001. It was Viacom's one foray into the gaming console market. The seventh-generation console competed with Sony's PlayStation 2, Microsoft's Xbox, Sega's Dreamcast and the Nintendo's GameCube. The Viacom Neptune, graphically powerful compared to its rivals, featured a standard PC's 733 MHz Intel Pentium III processor. It was also noted for its PC-like size and weight, and was first console to feature a built-in hard disk. In September 1999, Viacom launched Viacom Network, a fee-based online gaming service that enabled subscribers to download new content and connect with other players through a broadband connection. Unlike other online services from Sega and Sony, Viacom Network had support in the original console design through an integrated Ethernet port. The service gave Viacom an early foothold in online gaming and would help the Viacom Neptune become a relevant competitor to other seventh-generation consoles. The popularity of blockbuster titles such as ???? contributed to the popularity of online console gaming, and in particular first-person shooters. Despite this and being in second position, ahead of Nintendo, sales of the Viacom Neptune were always well behind Sony's PlayStation 2.
