1)Xenon launches with such success in America that it turns some possitive looks from Japanese developers that aren't Tecmo including... v_v ...Square-Enix. Only closed door talks occur at first, but by 2007, the first major Japanese RPG hits the console. Xbox 3 launches with major Japanese support.
Mostly correct. Xbox 360 has gotten a lot more Japanese support. Japan has realized that MS is here to stay, and Squeenix is putting Final Fantasy 11 on the 360.
2)Playstation 3 launches with a medicore line-up including Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Fantavision SE, Sony advertises for Playstation 27, and once again, I'm told that I'm a *insert console here* fanboy for not owning one. Sony buys Silicon Knights for no real apparant reason. Too Human is released with critical acclaim, and everyone at Cloudchaser buys it, but then everyone says how much they hated it one year later.
Partially correct. A new Tekken is comming out, and probably as a launch title. Sony didn't buy Silicon Knights, and actually, Sega is working with them. Too Human is supposedly being broken up into 3 games instead of one.
3) Nintendo releases the Revolution with everything fixed that was broken with the GameCube: A media with plentiful space, a controller that fits more than Nintendo's needs, and a competant online plan. However, consumer confidence is low due to prior problems with consoles and the DS, and thus, 3rd party support is bad as well. If the Revolution does as well as the GameCube, then Nintendo makes one more console before being bought by MS. If it does worse, MS buys Nintendo in 2011.
Partially true. Revolutions online plan is still cloudy, but exsistant to say the least. The controller is still under wraps, but supposedly so innovative that if they show it off now, MS and Sony will steal the idea. Not much is known about the media, although it seems that they're using regular DVD's.
4) The DS is an innovative piece of work, but due to developers that don't know what to do with the system and graphics worse than that of the PSP, the DS turns out to be Nintendo's worst failure since the Virtual Boy.
Half right, half wrong. Developers still don't know what to do with the DS, but it's selling better than the PSP.
5) The PSP has a huge market lead over the DS. However, Sony stops making UMD movies to cut loses cause nobody buys them.
Completely wrong. PSP is selling worse than the DS and those god awful UMD movies are selling decent enough.
6) Sega finally gets over its internal turmoil in 2006, but Sonic Team is never the same. Rumor has it, UGA's bongs get in the way. Team Andromeda is created once again to make a sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga.
Still 2005, too early to tell.
7) EA buys Visual Concepts, but then spilts the team up. None of the VC staff end up on EA Tiburon.
Wrong. VC is bought, but by Take Two, not EA.
