Video game console rumours and hoaxes have been around for as long as video game consoles have. Mix that with 2000s aesthetics, and you had a very exciting future to look forward to in the videogame industry. So, I want to go through this iceberg created by transqueen421 and we’ll be going through every entry from top to bottom in usual iceberg chart fashion. Things will get real obscure, real quick and you’ll find that there’s a lot more to these entries than meets the eye.
