Make up a crazy rumor about the next gen consoles

• Anti-rental tech.
• Requires constant internet connection

Etc, etc. I'm getting sick of these idiotic rumors that have zero basis in reality.

So, let's hear it! I want to hear MORE stupid rumors. Make 'em up!

My rumors:

• Sony will charge a penny per second of Play Station 4 time
• Nintendo will force you to register your thumb on the FBI database before you can buy a Wii U
• Microsoft will not let you play Xbox Live unless it detects a Kinect device on your system

• Sega secretly amassing funds to re-enter the console market
• Play Station 4 controller will be a VR headset costing $100
• Nintendo buys Atari, will make old Atari games available for download on Wii U (ok, I could almost see the second part of that one happening)

Microsoft will have a tracking device placed on you to make sure that you don't buy any used games EVER, even things not Microsoft. If it detects it, their special squad goes to your house and takes all your video games and systems away.

The final ready-for-retail version of the Wii U is less powerful than the Ps3 and 360.

Oh, wait.

The Sega Neptune is making its long awaited debut?

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

The Xbox 720 is revealed to have an innovative new feature called "Xboxtortion", in which the user (not the owner, as Microsoft plans to own all of the consoles it manufactures) will be forced to pay $50 per hour to have the console in their house, $100 per minute to have it on, and $1000 a second to run games, apps, and movies, all of which stack on top of each other and onto Xbox Live as well as the price of the system itself. If the user fails to pay on time, the system is repossessed. Sony decides to compete by introducing "Play Station Protection", which charges similar prices, but sends an enforcer to break the user's legs in addition to repossession if the user fails to pay. Nintendo, meanwhile, forgets to include Internet capability into the first production run of the Wii U, causing gamers to flock to Microsoft and Sony's camps while Steam users look on and laugh.

The Playstation 4 will have a built-in explosive that will go off if it detects any used game in the disc drive. This, of course, will present an obstacle to actual pirates for all of 13 seconds.

The X Box 720 won't have a Red Ring of Death.

The Xbox 180, the newest portable phenomenon, will feature the revolutionary Pay-for-Play system where you buy minutes of battery life in the same way you buy calling minutes for your cell phone! It also will ship with no games, apps, or other accessories on release date, only a poster of a grinning, staring Bill Gates.

Wii U will be the Dreamcast 2 and launch with Shenmue III.

. . .

I wish.

Microsoft and Sony will work together to bring you the Play Box 440.

The Wii U will have every game being in 1080p HD and a stable 60 FPS with no dips, 32 x AA on every game, will play any game from any Nintendo console as well, and will make tacos.

Even better, Sony and Nintendo will finally bury the hatchet and join forces—with Sony developing the hardware and Nintendo handling the software—much like they had intended to do all those years ago.

Also, the next Nintendo console won't have a mock bait title.

Already debunked, it's stated to be 720p.

• Half Life 2 Episode 3 will be released. As a Kinect exclusive dance game.

• Bioware will make a game that will please everyone.

• There will be no more Metal Gear, ever.

PS 4 will have gaems.

Wii U will blow up Theatrical's house.

And will make tacos.

The new Old El Paso Tortiatron 700 will make tacos obsolete.

Now now, kids. None of that. Keep it civil.

Nintendo's next console will not print out money, but instead produce diamonds out of thin air.

Out of nowhere, the ColecoVision will return to win the console wars.

... until Microsoft's new Intellivision's Voice Synthesis module gains the market.

Oh yes! I'm always running out of those things and never remember to buy anymore of them!

...

Not like that.

On topic, Play Station 4 will have that Sony Crossover game as a release title.

Double Fine, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Retro Studios, Criterion, Obsidian, Valve, and Crytek UK will all band together to make a launch title.

...at least, I would go wild over that >_>

Capcom will quit the DLC heavy rehashes of fighting games and finally finish the Breath Of Fire Franchise properly.

Ha... ha...

Mega Man Legends 3 will be a launch title for one of the systems...
