Stephen Colbert unveils Microsoft's next console

Wow, Microsoft has been on a roll lately. First the company unveiled Project Natal at E3. Then came the dreams of fantastic controller-less games, giggling like idiots at a weird, digital boy and squealing like children as we pretended to drive a car. And now, guess what kids? Project Natal is yesterday's news, as Stephen Colbert somehow managed to get the green light from Microsoft to unveil its next Xbox console, the ExXbox.

Honestly, we're at a loss for words. Forget Project Natal. Put away MotionPlus. Shelve the PlayStation Motion Controller. The level of innovation here is simply through the roof. Rather than attempt to describe how incredible it is, allow us to direct you past the break, where you can see the future unfold before your eyes (look for it at 1:40 in the video).

[Thanks, Jay!]

wow, just truly breathtaking
LOL

I bet you have to preorder it thru Gamestop to get those "clothes only smart people can wear"

I heard his Harvey Birdman voice in the last button press. win!

that skateboard part was truly hilarious!

Phil Ken Sebbin's voice is his normal voice, though.

However, Reducto is a disguised voice of his.

BACK OFF!

is it just me or does Colbert have a striking resemblance to Steve Jobs now?

FUCK YEAH HE DOES!!!

Now that you mention it, that is very true.

He looks like a vegetable?

Yeah, it's too bad about what happened to Steve Jobs.

But Steve isn't a vegetable! He actually is alive, despite what the press says.

Look at all the fun I'm having!!!

wow, that wasn't funny at all!

Didn't make me laugh either.. but then I'm a Brit, we have different humour.. I hear Americans love British comedy (or was it Canandians), doesn't mean it's true.. each to there own. least people can have a laugh..

I'm going to have to agree. Grown men dancing around like idiots is more of a facepalm than a laugh. I give this clip a -.- out of ten.

Sorry, I can't see your opinion; it's too faded out.

I agree, most of the jokes were cheap and obvious.
Not funny at all.

@Mazrael

I didn't laugh either...and I'm American....and I find nothing special about British humor. So yeah, maybe it's the Canadians.

"I'm going to have to agree. Grown men dancing around like idiots is more of a facepalm than a laugh."

You must hate Natal.

"Didn't make me laugh either.. but then I'm a Brit, we have different humour.. I hear Americans love British comedy (or was it Canandians), doesn't mean it's true.. each to there own. least people can have a laugh"

As long as it's Monty Python. Just don't turn me into a newt.

Why do people think this guy is funny and intelligent again?

at least his jokes are more than just pausing with a confused/bemused look on his face (jon stewart). imo colbert is more quick-witted, and makes a difference in the show, since i'm sure they don't work out all the dialogue beforehand.

Stewart is pretty constantly funny, with a few exceptions, while Colbert is very hit or miss. He can be funny when he's on his game.

I'm the opposite than you cknblade. I like Colbert a lot, but I don't know if I've ever laughed at Stewart. Now, I haven't watched the show a lot, but I've seen at least 10+ episodes.

But to each his own. :D

Stewart is himself which I find more amusing because I identify more with a real person being confused about the world and the way it works.

Colbert is essentially playing a character; one that I rarely agree with. Which, I guess, is why it's amusing.

...because he used to be?

I'll betcha half the people here swear Adult Swim cartoons are hilarious.

I usually don't, but that was HILARIOUS. Period.

"Why do people think this guy is funny and intelligent again?"

Because his show uses a heavy dose of satire, seriously stop trying to be a nonconformist, it only makes you look like a lackey like the other morons that "hate" Colbert in this thread.

Perchance, does your name happen to be Donald H Crosby?

Was it supposed to make us laugh?

Project Natal now obsolete!

PS. where did his hair go? This is a sad day in american history.

He got it shaved for the US Army.

CRY SOME MORE!

Obama ordered that it be shaved off when he did his show in Iraq. Led to a funny bit on his first show back where he donned a wig of his old doo.

He is such a funny guy.

I think I may have smiled a little watching that...
Am I the only one that doesn't think Cobert is funny?

Colbert used to be a lot funnier. The schtick has just sort of worn thin now.

"Any child with a skateboard and the skill to ride a skateboard no longer has to ride a skateboard" That's what I've been saying!!!

And I can't wait to see "booze soaked chocolate covered meth cigarettes" on the market

Those things are the real day one purchase.

I actually agree with Stephen Colbert's point: the greatest game of all is the game of the imagination! I don't know about you, but my imagination is much more exciting than anything Nintendo or Microsoft or 3DO released and I don't have to know Japanese to play the hentai stuff.

LOL Perv.

My imagination ran out when I walked in on my parents having sex when I was 8. My 360 and PS3 fills the void. You don't seem to understand Jansperus.

Lmao, Colbert is a genious.

Or genius, but only a genious would now that.

Did you mean to misspell know? Because if you did, that's hilarious.

*know*

Colbert is epic win.

Wow... epic fails, all around. Lawlz...

First Jimmy Fallon and now the Colbert Report. I even think Natal was mentioned on the Rachel Maddow show. Funny how Natal is getting all this free publicity and yet Sony's motion controller is a no show. Makes me wonder if Sony is even serious about motion control or just doesn't want to be left behind.

People watch the Rachael Maddow show? Isnt her ratings even worse than Hardball and Olberbite's?
