I have one!

"Sony will continue to claim that the PS3 only does everything.

It will be launched into space, learn to communicate with every species on the planet, cook dinner, do your homework, and many more things.

It will be able to do anything.

Except backwards compatibility"

Mircosoft will announce they are happy the xbox 720 now will last 2 years before its RSOD(red square of death) comes on and you have to buy a new one.

Edit: also blue ray will be coming soon tm

It is all true, but you forgot;

April 21 2011
Due to the fact that swtor was such a sucess, wow is now only played by two internet perverts and a whinny ass ally gnome.

 

[The Great JT]

I have one.

By 2014, Duke Nukem Forever will be back in development, to the mocking laughter of the entirety of the gaming community.

 

[Sjakie]

I have one:

In December 2016 the steam servers crashed, losing the accounts of roughly 9 million gamers. After news hit of this immense loss of data, teen suicides rose to new highs.

2015: Analysts say its finally the year of the Ps3...again
The Ps3 is my favorite console though^^

 

[Jared]

[b4XT3r]

I think 2018 is too soon for Episode 3. More like 2022.

FORWARDS COMPATIBILITY!

Dun-Dun-DUUNNN!

My prediction: "In the year 2016, as players got completely sick of brown-and-gray cover-shooter realism, the videogame industry has entered a nosedive. All major developers and publishers say they are doing everything in their power to prevent another 1983-like crash, but pretty much everyone agrees that FPS market is dead for at least a couple of years.

According to eyewitnesses, Ratchet and Clank were spotted near the 'crash site' of industry laughing their asses off."

I laughed like a stupid idiot for a minute at the War 3 expansion title as well as the last panel. Thank You, Shamus!

I'm still waiting for someone to try to use it as a life saving device or the cure to cancer, fail, and sue. That slogan is asking for it. Also, are you going to make one with Breen about his VA dying?

Then all Sony has to say in its defense is

"The Playstation 3 does everything... including not obeying you"

 

[0p3rati0n]

the end shot should of been Dr. Hax! That would of made my day immensely!!!

 

[Yog Sothoth]

That isn't Gordon Froman [http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-05-01] is it....?

 

[MortisLegio]

2015 Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony all join together to create the ultimate console*

Console fanboys have nothing left to do but shut up

*I dont count PC as a console
