Clothes Wars!
Imagine if all your top producers, Nintendo, Sony and Sega, chucked in developing games. And went into clothes.
"Pah, this sucks, all these flippin' console wars and us trying to compete with these funds. They just won't do. Im starting something else"
Says the head of Sega. Now, he was annoyed. He wanted to escape from making games. So he goes into making clothes. His designs are interesting. Very interesting. He based his designs, on his characters. Therefore. Sonic. His designs were nice and blue. And often had funny tassels, in the shape of "Spikes" sown on the sleeves of his clothes.
Now, they may sound weird. But they sold like hot cakes!
"I am so rich and happy! I am so happy now I quit my job! Yeeha!!!"
Nintendo and Sony. Were battling furiously over the top name in gaming. They were knocking out quality games left right and center. The console ownage percentages were as follows.
Sony - 51%
Nintendo - 49%
Nintendo Boss: "Its no use. We've been battling for years. Still, Sony are in the lead. I'm just so damn annoyed. Look what the Sega boss did, im going his way. He's totally loaded! Let Sony take control.."
So, the Nintendo Boss, goes off, and makes a few designs. Like the Sega Boss. He uses characters for inspiration.
Now, because he had so many characters to decide from. Or rather, make clothes from. He had loads of designs. So, instead of just having one. Like Mr Sega Boss. He had loads! Nice Mario boiler suits. Red "M" caps. Luigi stuff, Princess Peach dress'. The lot. Although, it took more time. Nintendo Boss. Released his clothes to the public. Now, ladies and gentlemen. These. There were the most popular things since flares. The Nintendo Boss had hit a goldmine. Selling clothes to every corner of the world, he was over the moon.
Now, these clothes were all the rage, so, Sega and Nintendo did battle, but quite happily, because the sales were pretty even, so nobody was in tears. But, my friends. The old Sony company. Was. All the kids wanted these clothes, not games. And electronic toys. Oooh no. Clothes. Nintendo and Sega clothes. Thats what they wanted.
Christmas time was approaching, which is normally a really good place to promote the latest game or console. Which Sony had done so well over the years. But no. Not this Christmas. Sony sales hit a rock bottom low. Millions of PS2's were on the shops. Some as low as £10. Just to shift stocks.
"This is just not working." Says the Sony Boss. "This is pathetic. One day, we were on top of the world, the next, we were struggling to keep the company alive. Thats IT! I've had enough, lets beat them at their own game!"
Off he went, searching for designs. He couldn't come up with much, but Final Fantasy stuff was the best he could do. Making big clothes, with shiny things attached to them. Christmas was growing ever nearer. Sega and Nintendo had already released their Autumn-Winter catalog's leaving Sony trailing behind.
Designs were released. Battle was commencing, not, the usual Nintendo-Sega friendly style, Oh no. It was furious. Clothes being bought everywhere, even riots in some places just to get the last Sonic, or Mario suit for their kids. Worryingly. Sony stuff was left on the shelves.
Parents were getting stressed. Tensions were mounting. No Sega or Nintendo stuff on the shelves. All gone. Every last item. Not wanting to disappoint their children Sony stuff was being bought, leaving all 3 companies with a complete sell-out.
More and more clothes were being made, companies fought for the kids to wear their designs on their backs. No use. Complete stalemate.
Sega - 33.3%
Nintendo - 33.3&
Sony - 33.3%
(The other 0.1% ran away..)
They battled furiously, to try get some more percentage, to try nudge ahead of everyone else. It wasn't working.
Sega Boss: "Damn this, im back to gaming.."
Nintendo Boss: "Me too.."
Sony Boss "Me Three.."
Morale of the story: Wherever there's Nintendo, Sony, and Sega involved. They'll always be some kind of war.. ;o)
Hope you enjoyed my clothes wars :o)
Well, it makes a change..
Thanks for your time..

Yes but where did it go? Did it too set up it's own clothing franchise?
Anyway. :0)
Nice story, I'm just wondering what would happen if there was just the one gaming company, sure it would make a bomb but I'm also sure some people would become tired of it, it just wouldn't be as interesting no?
Take the WWE for example, as soon as it bought out it's rivals ECW and WCW look at how little people watch it now, with no competition to beat, it's just not as good.
Anyhoo, nice posty wosty Gassy
