Could we come up with a totally new gaming console that is a horrible nightmare?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) June 7th, 2013

After observing all the debates, and hearing all the talk about the new gaming systems from Microsoft and Sony, namely the PS4 and Xbox One, I think I have spotted a new trend in the market.

They often say of great people, that they were ahead of their times, as if their genius transcended the march of technological progress and time, some how allowing them to reach in to the future for inspiration, and I believe that now is my time, to take my place in history as one of these great people.

I have observed the trends in video gaming, and after a long drug induced vision in the cabin of lost dreams, I have seen the future of video gaming, and the future is a steaming pile of shit.

My plan, is to beat Microsoft and Sony to the punch line, and start working now on a games console that is so horrible, so greedy and complex, that it will stand out as the new leader in gaming by the release of the PS5 in a few years time.

If you help me, I will give you all shares in my empire, so that you too may be filthy rich with me.

Can you come up with any horrible hardware features we could give this new gaming console?

- Maybe we could fit them all with anal sensors that help fight piracy. By configuring it to the buyers body temperature, we could make them jam it in their assholes to identify themselves as the licensed owners before playing.

Can you come up with any horrible software features?

- I was thinking maybe we could have a user interface that has a duplicate of every button, one that works and does what it is labeled as, and another that just resets the console.

How could we maximize the greed?

- My idea, is that we could charge users $1 for every time they want to respawn in a game, otherwise you have to wait 15 minutes before you can play again. We can call it Hardcore Survival Mode.

Are there any other horrible ideas in general?

- Maybe we could fit it with a smart motion detector and speaker, so we can program it to detect children and then speak smack to them.

- Perhaps we could fit it with a loud humming device that does nothing but make a noise.

All ideas appreciated.

Your share percentage will be calculated based on how horrible your contributions are.
