But, to the suprise of myself, and the entire 'Fog O'clock' news team, it wasn't the odds on favourite Kylie Minogue entering the console market. Infact, she commented on the allogations,
"Strewth! Pants to that, sport!"
Quite appropriate really.
Shortly after Miss Minogue made her short, yet stimulating comment, it seemed we were to be in for an even bigger suprise!
At approximately half past seven this evening, when all his fans had gone to bed, Michael Jackson's spokesman, whom we all think could be related, Samual El Jacksonno, Mexican actor and part time hardware manufacturer, announced that Mr. Jackson had finished creating his 'Neverland-Box', which has now been renamed 'Jackson 3000'.
Samual El Jacksonno stated, "The Jackson 3000 will be released not just as the next big thing in home videogaming, but to unite the world as one big loving community. It will be released in spring of next year and will feature the following specifications:
5 GB Hard Disk Drive
DVD, CD and LP playback
2.7 GHz processor
128 MB 3D graphics capabilities
4 control ports
broadband capability as standard.
More features will be made public in future announcements."
Shortly after, Michael Jackson made this statement:
"I want people to buy my love machine and to experience harmonious peace and joy in unity. To protect the identity of my machine, first pictures will show it covered with a veil, which, although will cause the machine to overheat, I will be safe in the knowledge that my new baby wont be recognised in the future.
For the children of the world who would like to enjoy my new games console before it's launch, I will be giving out contact details and a map to 'Neverland' where we can all enjoy rides, gaming on the love machine and many joyful sleepovers. If you come from a different continent to North America, I might even adopt you so that we can hide your face from the public...forever!
Rest assured, the console will be fairly cheap and will play all my albums. And as a bonus treat, my last game, released on the Sega Master System, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, will be already installed onto the hard drive for some quality gaming.
There wont be any violent games released for the Jackson 3000 though. There wont even be any tackling on the latest rugby and soccer games on the Jackson 3000! My console is used to promote love, and there's no love in sport."
A worrying thought indeed. Michael Jackson claiming there is no love in sport, and inviting children to play with his love machine!
We asked Mr. Miyamoto-san what he thought this could mean for the gaming industry. He did answer, but we couldn't understand a word he said.
We'll have more on this story in our Hog O'clock news bulletin.
The rest of tonights main headlines:
Disturbing images created in the minds of the general public when the deputy prime minister admitted to wearing Kylie's new range of women's underwear.
Scientists discover that the universe isn't dark naturally, but a certain popstar has tried to hide our universe from being recognised by others via a veil.
And, restaurants in China start serving roast beef and yorkshire puddings.
Before we press on with the news, here is the weather.
(note - this is a spoof - any relation to any real life persons is purely coincidental (yeah right!) and is purely fiction.
:D
