Following X-Box's recent drop in sales, "Commander" Bill Gates has decided that action needs to be taken into the matter, and his new approach is to carry out X-Box-ism throughout the world. The plan of X-Box-ism is really to convince gamers across the world to play games on the X-Box games console. The ways of 'attack' for Commander Bill have not yet been identified to us, but knowing Mr. Gates, it'll probably be something deranged and mad. We've seen Bill's ideas before, such as him becoming a Saint, and promising to blow up the Big Brother house if 1,000,000 X-Boxes were sold, so X-Box-ism should be something for the world to fear.

"I want the opposition taken out!" was Bill's first statement, before he launched into explanations of how Microsoft will be the only games company around when his regime is over. "My rival companies shall be squashed into the ground like flies when I'm through with them!" he continued. These scary words from the Head of Microsoft have brought on outbursts from fans of Bill's rival companies. At a public statement Bill had to be escorted off a stage and into a car due to Sony fans lobbing fruit and sometimes heavier objects at him.

Bill's main opposition in his quest to get all gamers playing X-Boxes by the end of this year will be Sony and Nintendo. These 2 companies are both aware of Commander Bill's new plan, and have both addmitted to recieving phone calls from The Commander himself.

Shinichi Okamoto, Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment explained that Bill Gates phoned him up the other night, warning him of X-Box-ism, and what he would do to Sony users if they didn't surrender to his evil plan. Mr. Okamoto is said to have been very disturbed at Bill's recent words, but is advising PS2 owners not to worry, and that this is probably some mind game being used by Bill to get PS2 owners over to his side. Mr. Okamoto privately stated that he is not so sure about that though.

Commander Bill has also apparently contacted Hiroshi Yamauchi. The reason behind contacting Hiroshi Yamauchi is unexplained, but the reason is most probably that Bill didn't know that Mr. Yamauchi had retired as President of Nintendo. He is said to have asked Yamauchi 3 times to step down as President of Nintendo, in which Yamauchi eventually replied, "I stepped down as President of Nintendo months ago you stupid American sod!" Bill obviously not knowing that Satoru Iwata is the new President of Nintendo, is yet to contact HIM instead.

Both Sony and Nintendo though, are now fully aware that "Commander" Bill is not joking, and they are trying to prepare for whatever Bill tries to set against them. Bill Gates has explained to many different internet sites, on many news shows and in public announcements that he will do what it takes to put Nintendo and Sony out of business so that it can be a one console market. As explained before, the reason behind Bill's theatrics have not yet been revealed, but one can only assume that gaming domination is first in line from Gates, but it could possibly be more serious than that. Sony and Nintendo had better watch their backs. Who knows what the mad "Commander" Gates' plans are?
