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.

Nintendo teamed up with Sony during production of the NES. Now Nintendo want to join forces with Microsoft? Can't they do anything on their own?

I got so excited until that last line, I was poised to go to ukoxocube.com and pre-order mine.

I'd have paid more if it came with an autographed photo of Linda Bellingham.
