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

Make the panorama/zoom controller extremely sensitive.

All games default to Japanese until you figure out how to change the language options. If you are in Japan, make it cuneiform.

In-game death will be signaled with an electric shock to the pads of your thumbs.

With all the NSA shit and and Xbox One always needing the Kinect it is a non starter. The NSA spy box isn’t going in my living room.

And really, the timing of this couldn’t have been worse for Microsoft.

How about electrodes we place on the hands, arms, legs and neck to control movement, that also administer shocks when you are hit/hurt?

Beating Microsoft at churning out louse UIs? You’re more of a masochist than even I realized, @poisonedantidote.

I’m still waiting for the PS9

Check out Final Fantasy All the Bravest.

When characters have been defeated, they take 3 minutes to revive per character. Golden hourglass items are purchasable in order to revive all defeated characters instantly. Premium characters from previous Final Fantasy games can be purchased in the in-game shop at random. Characters include Tifa, Rinoa, Terra, the chocobo, moogle, a pig from Final Fantasy IV, and others. World tickets are also purchasable to access notable Final Fantasy locations including Zanarkand, Midgar and Archylte Steppe.

Okay so it’s not on a console, and even though some of the answers here are jokes, something like this doesn’t seem impossible for the future. Don’t know much about the PS4 yet, but the X Box One is gonna charge you to play used games, and you can’t even lend a game to a friend without them having to pay for its use, since it’s not affiliated with their account.

Might as well just replace all new consoles with bricks I can’t do anything with, and then be charged by the government for having it near my house. I’ll just buy some ramen noodles and play all my old shit. Unless, of course, having a next gen console notifies the companies that you’re playing authentic, older games, and not their watered down digitized version. For which you get sued. And then, when you want to save your progress, you have all this high tech shit that can save it for all eternity, but you have to enter some long ass password, like back in the Nes days. And all the letters and numbers are invisible. But every time you fuck up, you have to pay one cent and a finger. Plus it costs like 500gb to save anything, and none of the consoles will have that much space. Well it’s all being saved to Cloud, but it needs to go through your console first, and will therefore need the space.
Kinda like if you wanna download a game on PS3 that is 12gb, but they actually need 24gb for the operation, which means you gotta delete some games if you don’t have enough space. But after you get the gb back, you still can’t get the deleted games back, because their space is also doubled…except in these new consoles, you can’t re download a deleted game, you have to pay for it again and it costs triple the space to implement it once more. And then you have to sacrifice a homeless guy to a car company so they don’t delete your account. Plus trophies/achievements will disappear after three months, and can never be obtained again. And you can’t play anything if you’re not logged on.

Plus I’m guessing some new fancy shmancy TV’s will have to be purchased in order to even see anything. You’ll have to get a third eye put in your forehead, too. Then you go blind. Plus all you’ll get is just shitty WWII simulators and American RPG’s filled with glitches and DLC’s that cost more than the game itself, and all they’ll include is changing your character’s hair. That’s if you’re even allowed to have a character.

And 3D will still suck.

Mood sensors in the controllers which deliver lethal shocks to the whining bastards who think they can build an empire & better a mass produced billion $/£ industry…die deluded dick die!!

Dude. So I just learned that the Killer Instinct franchise will be revived on X Box One…a famous fighting game from the nineties, people have been clamoring for more, for years. Rare got bought by Microsoft, so now it’s happening.
Except that when you get the game, only one character is available; you have to buy the rest of the characters individually in order to play as them. This brings my piss to a boil, as AVGN would say. Seriously, WHAT THE HELL. I would buy a game, then I’d have to pay for it again? Fuck your ass, Microsoft. Fuck it good.
