*********************THIS IS A JOKE**************************
Reuters, London. 7/4/2002
The chairman of the Sony Corporation, responsible for inventions such as the Walkman, Cd and Playstation consoles, called a press conference earlier this afternoon to discuss the company's future in the console market. What follows is a transcript of what happened.
Sony Chairman: I'm glad to see you all here today becuase I have an announcement to make. The Sony Playstation 2 is the highest selling console in the world and the choice for the new millennium. We are unopposed....yes?
Reporter: What about the Gamecube and X Box ?
Sony Chairman: Okay so were unopposed apart from by the Gamecube and X Box. This year we will increase this success by releasing the innovative Hard Disc Drive and Modem to the western markets...what ?
Reporter: Didn't Microsoft beat you to it, they were, like, first weren't they ?
Sony Chairman: It was our idea first. We just felt like keeping Western gamers waiting until they lost interest, and no one will gice a toss until 2004 when Final Fantasy XI comes out. Anyway let me carry on. These new peripherals will increase gamers experiences and interaction with the "emotion" engine and pave the way for the Playstation 3 which will be neurally networked into gamers brains to form a massive worldwide network capable of sending terabyte of information in seconds, we haven't quite solved the brian haemorage thing that our testers keep getting but even if we don't Sony owners are used to a few faults in our products.
Another Reporter: So the PS3 is going to be a reality?
Sony Chairman: Oh yes. We at Sony hope to beat the competition with carefully mocked up screenshots that will kill opposing machines before they launch, and follow up with some semi impressive games. Then the network features we've hidden...you'll think Gates was the Pope compared to us..*MOBILE PHONE RINGS, BRIEF CONVERSATION* I've said too much....please you've got to know ! It's Metal Gear Solid 3, Kojima wants 10 years to make it os we've bought the licence and 3DO are going to make it part of the Army Men.....
*Reporter in front row raises a silenced pistole and fire, Sony Chairman falls to floor dying*
Sony Chairman: Agh, stop 3DO, kill opposition...price fixing...truth...purposelly staggered release dates.....err...truth....*DIES*
Thats the conference as it happened, Sony are yet to make a statement regarding the event.
*AN OFFICE FAR AWAY IN SEATTLE*
Bill put the newspaper down and smiled. He looked at he rport on his desk and grinned at the rising sales figures and dreamnt of Microsoft's plan for a gaming network, no he thought to himself, that wasn't quite true. The subscription fees....ah........ well Bill thought, they fell for the old DVD playback excuse so why not this.
*AN OFFICE EVEN FURTHER AWAY IN TOKYO*
The Nintendo executives watched the spy camera footage of Bill gloating in his office and breathed a sigh of relief. The plan was going well, their two rivals were exhausting themselves, like their fans, in fruitless battles between themselves leaving The god of games to waltz in and win the war. Then, at the end of the long room, the doors burst open and a breatless executive held up a paper, "Sirs, it's Sony, they've nabbed the Pokemon license from us !"
Gasps filled the room but the oldest and wisest executive stood up, " fear not, for we have what no other has, the power of the force" He waved around a copy of Rogue Leader....
*AN OFFICE EVEN FURTHER AWAY THAT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT*
An old man sat in a faded Atari t shirt playing Alien versus Predator and Tempest intermitently. He surfed the net and watched the younger companies. He would return, if only he could stop playing flipping Tempest...
TO BE CONTINUED ?????
***********THIS IS JUST A JOKE, HOPEFULLY I'VE "HAD A GO" AT ALL THE COMPANIES FARELY, IF YOU DON'T THINK SO....DON'T TAKE IT SO SERIOUSLY !!!!!!!******************************
