Forums - Gaming - "3DS makes kids go blind!" Craziest Gaming Predictions

Well, it really doesn't (does it?) but I just thought about that and said to myself, "I wouldn't mind looking at some boobies".

 

BUT, after I Googled  boobies for the last hour or so, I thought "Damn, the gaming media just doesn't give a damn, do they?" They are willing to take the most insignificant thing and blow it out of proportion.  That brings us to your part in this thread. What's the most outrageous but proven to be false gaming headline you can think of?

 

Let's laugh at how wrong they were.

This article claiming that the Wii would dominate the industry and win the generation.

It's outrageous because it was an April Fools joke

I can't express how hard I cringed when I first read that.

They completely ignored the difference between the attach rates of home console vs. handheld Mario Karts.

I love how MK8 broke polygons prediction... in just one weekend.

Also, is MK8 gonna surpass Super Mario Kart?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
