LOL! I love Futurama.
Anyway, I can't say a can really get behind the idea of an AO console, since you could probably do just as well making games and peripherals for the PC and not have to mess around with uber expensive hardware that nobody is going to buy and that only a few developers are ever going to make games for. It just seems like introducing a whole platform for this type of thing is a really bad idea from an economic standpoint; almost as bad as marketing the thing anywhere outside of Japan.
Not to mention that this is going to give the moronic media pundits who got their panties in a twist over the relatively benign Mass Effect even more ammo in their battle to prove that all games are corrupting our societies by way of tits and vagina. I suspect a dark conspiracy of feminists and bar/club/restaraunt owners who see sex games as a very tangible threat to a constant supply of free drinks and meals for the former and a constant stream of income for the latter, coming of course from sad, patheitc creatures (i.e. most men) who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on women and get nothing in return. I suspect this group is also responsible for the illegalization of prostitution, but that's just my crazy theory. Pay me no mind.
No, seriously! You can ignore me! I'm saying this of my own free will! I'm definitely not being influenced by Wolfgang Puck and Oprah Winfrey who are standing behind me with butcher knife and .38 special, respectively, up against my head! Honest!
