These consoles are fake!

A collection of gaming's coolest and crappiest mocked-up machines

Words: Dave Meikleham, GamesRadar UK

Fake Xbox

Part deadly blunt weapon, all hideous design. Built like the proverbial brick shit house, this attempted Xbox looks more suited to weight lifters than weedy gamers.

Fake Gamecube

Inspired by the Game Boy Advance SP, this fictional Cube looks like it's been flattened in a car crusher. And how the hell are we supposed to use it as an impromptu weapon without the beloved handle on the back?



Nintendo genuinely should put the boys from Gizmodo on the payroll. The layout of this portable Cube is amazing, combining two of our favourite sticks ever. Excuse us for a second. We need some alone time.

Fake Sega Phoenix

This couldn't be anymore of a sloppy kiss to Sega fanboys, save if the picture above had the Phoenix lovingly straddling an aroused Sonic. Cooked up by devoted Sega fans in 2005, the console was rumoured to come equipped with a 120gb hard-drive.

Fake PlayStation

We were always taught if we couldn't say something nice, then don't say anyt... ah, screw that. This fake PS1 looks cack.



Perhaps the worst fake we've ever seen. Not only does it look like something a mentally-challenged Mattel employee would design, the bloody lid would never shut. Pure pap in PlayStation form.

Modded N64 handheld

Granted, you'd need a back pocket the size of an aircraft hanger to house this thing in your jeans, but we'd still buy this guy's working N64 mod. After all, we could never say no to our beloved 64bit console.

The Sony Foreman grill

We sincerely doubt old George would ever give his coveted seal of approval to this. There would be too many bits of cell chip in the sausage meat for starters

The nintendo on looks more like a football helmet.

I would say first, but... no.

Yay, turns out if your up at 4:00 AM bored out of your mind, Gamesradar will post awsome articles. Thank you Dave, I needed this.

Wow, I just noticed the Xbox 2 on page 3 has the red ring. At least they went for authenticity.

Man, that PSPboy is awesome. I want one.

Weird... a couple of the PSP fakes look much better than the actual PSPgo!! On second thought, no - it's not weird at all.

Yup, there's not better tonic for a doze of insomnia than a big dollop of semi useless game information.

Enjoy!

agreed, the PSP has the worst layout possible. they design it for people with small hands. and the go is terrible, i would accidentally crush it.

the regular psp already looks like a old advance with a anlog stick

The Sony Foreman grill is real and actually works. Oh, that PSPboy looks awesome.

what would the screens be used for on the bs in casual games?

which it would be its only use

Have you noticed how every fake PSP has two analogue sticks??

Why couldn't Sony listen to us and do this for the PSP Go??

It might actually be a half decent console then.

Some of the fake PSP's looked better than the real ones. Mainly because of the two anlog sticks.

Wow I was so bored when I decided to read this!

Like video games and meat then try the Sony Foreman grill!
ChrisAntistaSmellsLikePizza  - 5 months 7 days ago 
I would so totally take my Nintendo BS everywhere I went.
CapnCrotchPunch  - 5 months 7 days ago 
Some of these look better than their real counterparts, like the PsP with the fold up screen. I would buy that over the current one any day.
