Bill Gates today caused controversy, showing his complete lack of awareness in the console market, and the troubles facing Xbox gamers.

When asked by snooty reporter Arthur Spandex whether the Xbox seriously lacked the bread and butter titles to keep gamers happy he replied "Then let them eat cake."

Xbox gamers the world around are in uproar over the remarks that once again show Bill Gates to be seriously lacking in his knowledge of the market.

Michael McMichaelson a 24 year old trucker from Lanarkshire had the following to say "He's let us down, promised so much. Yes we have Halo, but what else? I'm thinking of getting rid of my Xbox, but I doubt anyone else here would want it."

Aslan the Lion, speaking on behalf of Sony Europe said that he would personally ship Playstation 2's to the disgruntled Xboxers houses at a bargain basement rate, but this too has been sneered at by the Xbox faithful, that still expect for GTA3 to be ported to their console in the future.

A nearby cakeshop was asked if they had noticed any upturn in trade since Bill's outburst, but the old lady that worked there just stared at me, like a rabbit trapped in headlights, before muttering something about young people these days.

They did, however, sell us some rather nice iced-buns.

Aslan the Lion rules.

So do Iced Buns, although I tend to like double chocolate doughnuts.

Also, on the subject of the X-Box, it does have Star Wars: Obi-Wan too. Damn, I wanted to play that.

Anyway, the X-Box eats poo, as does the GameCube.

I would imagine the pain would be rather intense as well.

That would take a mental enema, the likes and size of which has never been attempted before.
