4. Xbox 360 called obsolete by Epic

Despite having two smash hit games on the Xbox 360 in the form of Gears of War and its sequel, Epic loses faith in the console. Due to a massive improvement in PC hardware Epic develops an enhanced version of the Unreal Engine 3 to take advantage of the new technology. While the new engine is said to run flawlessly on the PlayStation 3 thanks to its SPUs, Epic states that it won't run on the dated Xbox 360. Gears of War 3 hits the PS3 first, with a gimped version arriving on Xbox 360 six months later. Many Xbox 360 fans die in what becomes known as Bonesaw Massacre Monday.

3. Samus revealed to be a man in drag

Following the release of Metroid Prime: Extinction for Wii, A Nintendo designer reveals that original sketches of Samus saw the iconic character portrayed as a man. Additionally the character was never changed into a woman, instead designers simply applied several layers of make up and gave the male character strap-on fake breasts. Over the years Samus became more feminine in appearance, but according to the designer is still revealed to be a man once makeup and clothing is removed. From then on Metroid fans felt shivers every time Samus' eyes reflected in his visor.
