Imagine the year is 2011.

You drive home from work in your 2012 Honda Accord. I know it's only 2011, but the 2012 models are already out.

You turn on your HOLO-TV and the newscaster, beamed into your living room states, "The Xbox 720 and Sony PS4 were announced at the Cannes Game Festival today. Both feature motion controls, small size, minimal graphic upgrades, and come packed with a collection of fun games anyone can play. They will both compete at retail for $199"

What is your initial reaction?

1) Wonder where the hell the Cannes Game Festival came from.

2) Wonder why I'm driving a Honda.

3) Wonder why the 720 and PS4 are featuring on a news show, and more to the point, the same news show.

4) Wonder why they called the next Xbox the 720.

5) Worry if I'll ever be able to pay back the loan that I took out to buy a $500,000 TV.

6) Be extremely pissed off because Sony and Microsoft are copying Nintendo

7) Be extremely pissed off because I don't want a new system with motion controls, small size, minimal graphical upgrades and fun games that anyone can play.

8) Wonder why I had to wait until a news show to know that two new consoles were being released

9) Marvel at the fact that a console is retailing for $200 in 2012, probably equivalent to $80 now.

10) Wake up, because this is a dream and never going to happen.

That was entertaining
