It's been a long while since the last installment, so dust off your aluminium foil hats guys and gals, it's time for conspiracy theory time. Today we'll be uncovering the unbelievable truth behind the Xbone's shockingly appalling reveal.
No-one could have anticipated just how utterly bungled the Xbone reveal could have been. TV? Always online requirements for the internet and Kinect? TV? Crazy DRM focus? TV?

It boggles the mind as to how these DRM plans could possibly pass through the hands of so many MS employess without a single one realising just how alienating to gamers they'd be. As much as we love to poke fun, even MS employees have brains. Well most of them.
How not to treat your customers 101
The shocking reality, guys and gals, is that the reveal of Xbone 1.0 (the DRM edition) was actually orchestrated between Sony and MS, in an all-out bid to monopolise the gaming industry by the next generation.
Never forget that Microsoft are the masters of Monopoly, just when you think they're not in the game, that's when they are playing most
The original Xbone did not exist. There was never a DRM-centric Xbone. It was all a subterfuge to push gamers towards the PS4 to centralise gaming power.
Either way, we were lied to
Suddenly, very basic, expected console features were marketable... as new features. Instead of trying harder, MS helped to simply lower the bar.
Sharing games is now exactly the same as before. Praise be unto PS4
MS is taking the hit like a champ and will be rewarded in the next gen when the gaming monopoly truly begins.
Well there you go, you heard it here first. Be careful when responding, assume all comunication is being heavily monitored. Until next time, keep watching the skies.
