Mongooseman writes: Shock erupted yesterday as panicking Sony bosses decided to rename the forthcoming PS3 as the PS361. A spokesman said “With Microsoft moving to 360, we felt that we needed to emphasize our machine more; going to 361 helps us maintain that edge.”
More shock followed as stunned Microsoft executives held an emergency meeting and decided to shift the new Xbox even further. Bill Gates announcted that evening that the name has been changed to the Xbox 587.
Sony have been in talks and are expected to announce a quick shift to a new number later today; rumours say it is going to be around 786.
