Trailer: 2006 Console Wars

If this upcoming generation console war had a trailer, this would be it. Very funny parody poking fun at all major console manufacturers.

  1. red silver guy was SUPPOSED to be kratos from God of War… yea, nintendo should have had more guys, but I guess they wanted it to seem somewhat an even fight 😛

  2. It's a Japanese short, right? That's why MS looks like a nerdy American white boy carrying a big stick. Anyone else feel as though Kratos hasn't been around long enough to be spoofed as a "console regular" like Mario, Link and Snake have? Even Chief has more airtime than him, even if both his titles, IMO, are the exact same game.

  3. This video came out long before E3, when people still thought Sony was releasing the PS3 with their "boomerang" controller…

  4. This skit is from G4's coverage of E3 2006.(Hence why Kevin is on the roof at the end, he's suppose to turn and talk to the camera)Also, MS guy looks nerdy because he's supposed to be Bill Gates.This is American made.

  5. Their is a longer version on the G4 Site, that has Kratos holding up Yoshi's head, and thats what causes Mario to try and charge forward at them.

  6. What? The 360 guy looked nerdy? I dunno, but it looked like bill gates wielding a rod with two spike-ridden xboxes impaled on both ends. I believe the proper terms are "funny" and "in good taste."
