    In 2016:

    The console only works with proprietary display, so if you buy a Microsoft console, you have to buy microsoft TV as well. (which does nothing other than being a shitty TV that work with the console)
    The console only works with Proprietary HDD, which costs 5 times more than other HDDs.
    It won't work unless you're connected to internet.
    Each time you turn it on, you have to watch an ad.

    The games you buy are all timed, meaning you have to pay each month to play, even in single player. (like onlive)
    You have to pay full price for the game, and additionally pay each month.
    Each map costs.
    Each weapon costs.
    Each spell costs.
    The only way to earn in game money is converting it from IRL money.

    This is how the game is played:
    King: Our princess has been kidnapped, will you go and save her?
    You: 1-Yes ($80)
    2-Let me think about it (30 minute ad)
    3-No (Game Over)

    The treasure box is locked! Will you pay $2 to unlock it?
    (If chosen Yes) It was empty!

    Boss: HaHaHa, you can never defeat me! Only if the princess had this "BEST BRAND SODA", she wouldn't be in such a situation.
    You: You fiend, good thing I have my "BEST BRAND CELLPHONE" and "BEST BRAND CLOTHES" to defeat you!!!

    We interrupt the gameplay to show you some advertisement.
    (After advertisement): The boss is too strong! The only way to defeat him is to pay $10!

    Note: The whole game is 30 minutes long, and it's an RPG.

    Gamer comments: ZOMG this console is amazing, I can see what time it is when playing the games! Totally worth the monthly subscription for singleplayer games!
    OMG this is the best game EVA!!! And I just paid $200 to get a new weapon, I am unbeatable now!!!1one
