There should be a new generation of consoles on the horizon in 2011/2012. Any ideas for the names?
A Kinder, Gentler Nation Continued: A Collaborative Bush wins '92 TL:
- Thread starter dw93
- Start date
Nintendo - Nintendo Ultra, NES 2. I'd probably make this a console ala PS3/XBox 360, to give them a shift upwards in the market.
Sony - Probably keep this the same as OTL
Microsoft - XBOX 2, XBOX Neo, XBOX Ultra.
Sony and Microsoft never entered the console market ITTL. The two main competitors in the console wars here are Nintendo and a revived Atari that bought Sega.

January 2th 2008: Jeese Ventrua's third party bid gets real popular on the Internet by unhappy democrats and independents.
Is there any significant event regarding the Ventura campaign on that date to boost its popularity on the Internet?
And it happened in a single day? How did the campaign get this boost? Did Ventura post a campaign ad online that went viral?
I understand that, but was there a reason for a spike to occur on that particular day?
