Playstation for the Superbowl January 31, 2004 - by Ian Bogost Apparently for the last eight years, the Playstation has correctly predicted the winner of the Superbowl. From Sports Illustrated (SI.com).
An annual competition between two Super Bowl participants playing 989 Sports' NFL game on a PlayStation 2 has become a perfectly reliable predictor of the real game: All eight winners have gone on to claim the Lombardi Trophy the following Sunday.
So, does superstition counts as a real-world effect of videogames? POST A COMMENT
