I've just read* a shocking report regarding the future of the games industry. Apparently Nintendo have been particulary impressed with the Xbox, and are currently working on a join venture with Microsoft. The Gamecube is unlikely to see the light of day over here, as this new project is expected to be ready for shipment by Autumn 2002.
What we can hope to see from this wonder hybrid console would be the raw power of the Xbox, coupled with the clever design of the Gamecube, and the massive budget of Microsoft with the tradition and franchises of Nintendo.
A spokeswoman from the team working on the console, Linda Bellingham, had the following to say "This will be fantastic, and make evening's a joy."
Sony will no doubt be quaking in their boots with this announcement, we'll probably see them trying to make a hasty deal with Atari in an attempt to get in on the act. But who now would choose a Playstation over a wonder-console like that from Microsoft and Nintendo.
EXTRA! EXTRA! I've just heard that the name of this console will be the oXo-Cube.

My dog mashing the joypad with it's fat ginger face is good at Tony Hawkes, so no great shakes there.
She's pretty hot at Tony Hawkes, is that enough for you?

You are a very strange man.

Oh come on. Listen, when I look like the baldy bloke from the OXO ads, I'd be well chuffed if my my wife looked like her, and she always had his dinner ready for him.
Top bird all round.
All she needs now is super-human Tekken skills.

My "Shock Gaming News" was much better.
But like Oasis to my Beatles, the popularist vote wins.
You monkeys.

This is official, it was on the AT wire service.

Early concept designs suggest that the console will be shaped like Bill Gates' head. In this way Microsoft plan to have a bust of their leader in every house and Nintendo plan to appeal to those who want to beat ten shades of shirt out of the man.
Said Fred McFalus of Nintendo, "The reset buttons have been placed in the eyes of this bust. Basically you need to pull off a move like an eye gauge to reset the machine. We can see this feature going down very well with the Linux users."
