It's finger clicking good - KFC announces console

[williamcll]

Just as Sony showcased their upcoming PS5, fast food company KFC has annouced a console, claiming to have 4K@120fps gaming experience.

Quote

As an industry leader, KFC Gaming has taken the world of esports and gaming by storm with its first-in-class social media and activations. KFC has developed an innovative gaming and esports strategy, featuring the highly successful KFC Royale tournament and KFC Esports Performance Burger. A perfect match for gamers looking to conquer their hunger and the virtual battlefield, the KFConsole is set to be released on 11.12.20 and will be available at retailers nationwide. Power your hunger.

 

Josh Benge, Brand Engagement Manager at KFC, had the following to say:

“At KFC we’ve been continually astounded by the gaming community’s amazing response to everything we’ve done and we had to give back with something truly incredible. We wanted to give gamers the best gaming experience on the market, with the convenience of a home chicken supply and so the the KFConsole was born. We can’t wait to get into our fans’ hands later this year.”

Whether or not this is a joke or not is uncertain. Interestingly the Xbox twitter gave this response:

Thoughts: My bet is that is this actually just a Xbox series X with KFC branding. That or I am retarded and completely fell for KFC's marketing stunt.

If it comes with a 4k remaster of I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator then I'm in.

[Lurick]

Does the controller cause your hands to be covered in chicken flavored grease?

[Void Master]

Must be Intel based in order to heat up the chicken chamber.

Unless it has an i9 and a water chiller I am calling it fake

This was the hero we didn't know we wanted but we needed

Cross platform play is gonna suck for anyone with a KFConsole.  How well are you going to be able to use a controller with greasy chicken fingers?

"Can you lay it sideways" Oh, Xbox, you freak

"Unrivalled power from the Zinger processor chip clocked at 11Ghz"

What?I don't get it, didn't you read the article you linked?

Here's hoping it really is a joke or at best, just a reskin promo of the new Xbox, considering the release date... 

[Intergalacticbits]

I don't want that console.

I want the xbox consoles to have a little window in window that opens when you hit a special button on the controller.

That would connect to your favorite fast food.

You talk to the person in the window who takes your order while it identifies you by facial recognition and auto charges your card on your console account.

 

Then it gets delivered to your house and you don't even have to stop gaming. 

Oh man I want my controller to have a Subway button and my local pizza shop order button on it.

I just love when companies have so much money and so little innovation they spend millions on developing meme games and fake console renders. Please ignore that KFC started cutting chickens into smaller pieces to save money. They really needed the money for this fake console launch and to pay the salary of the person running the fake twitter account for "KFC Gaming".

I hope you can eat it

I hope it's oil-cooled and works like an air fryer.

Oil cooked and an air fryer in the same sentence 

Dang 

[Trik'Stari]

Will the cooling loop also double as a gravy dispenser?

It has a frame to hold it over a MacBook. Just run Prime95 degrees C and you'll have your chimken in no time.

Hope we'll see ketchup and mustard power cord.

Ngl, that design really works! Genuinely much nicer than the PS5 and XBSX

[Tech_Dreamer]

fps = fries per second?
