Fake consoles

The Wireless 60, the all new console! Fuck Wii, we got an even better console, pushing better graphix. Obviously trying to bank in on the Wii's success, by tricking parents into buying this garbage.

Shit looks sweet, better buy two just in case my kid breaks the first because of how awesome it is!

Lets share other consoles trying to bank on the success of others, or attempting to trick parents/kids.
It's all fun and games, until you're the little child who's parents buy that for their kid.

Because "Video games I dunno whatever. I'm sure he'll play Nintenmaterio thing on it. Who cares."

And then little Johnny doesn't get to play Skyward Sword.
 
Well I don't know if this counts but...

So that's the Wii60 everyone was talking about back in '05.
 
This is what I expected too, but the 'real deals' in this thread are amazing!

Anybody hear of the Nintendo Nexus?

"...And we are confident our new console will dominate into the next decade"

At least they were right about something with that picture.

Wii had a lot of fake creations.

If we are counting Famiclones, this is one of my favorites: the 111-in-1 Wireless Penguin Power Games.

There needs to be more consoles shaped like animals.

Come on Sony. Make the PS4 resemble an owl.
 
Seems Chintendo Vii has been posted!

I had one of these

You directly plug it into the TV and play NES games

It was the shit until it broke three days later
 
This guy's videos are amazing. Product knockoffs are hilarious, I'd collect them if I had tons of disposable income.

I doubt they are even expensive.

This is OBVIOUSLY why SONY is not showing the ps4 yet, don't want those people copying.

Ya, that is the one I remember the most. I remember the talks about it having all exclusives on it and being the "independent" platform. Now no one is completely sure it was ever a thing.

It was a thing! I remember the E3 booth and the terrible T-shirts. "I Believe."

I still believe.

Also, I remember Kevin Bacchus coming to the office to shill for Phantom. He had nothing to show, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
 
And yet this seriously looks better than most systems they make.

While I don't really put Nintendo console aesthetics something good... are you seriously saying that tacky design is better? That garish blue, useless etches and stuff?
 
So how exactly do these things get sold? Do they bank entirely on clueless parents and grandparents hearing "PS3" and "GTA" and buying the wrong thing? I find it hard to believe they can subsist entirely on that market!
