Microsoft Test Launches Console

The video game market is reported to jump to a massive $2 billion dollars this year in South Korea. It is estimated that in 1996 PC Game sales were worth 1.2 billion dollars there which is a major portion of the game sales pie. It is reported that Microsoft is genuinely concerned about this trend. It is alleged that Microsoft, unhappy with the poor take up of consoles (and in particular its Xbox 360 console) in Asia, are looking to tackle the situation directly.

Apparently, in a move to rival the dictatorship of North Korea, Microsoft has said that it will begin launching its new console in the direction of Korea. Test firing is meant to begin this week. The problem with the test firing is that the delivery platform is relatively untested. Bill Gates will stand on the roof of Microsoft's headquarters and throw the Xbox 360 towards Korea.

Will update this more when news comes to hand.
