MS leaving the console race would be good for gamers.

Remember the PS2 era?  The shear amoutn of greatness that came out of that domination shows that Sony beinging complete control (for the second gen in a row at that point) didn't make a studios that are nothing to do with Sony put out bad PS2 games.

See? You yourself are showing why your idea is not good.

 

In order to compete with the total dominance of Ps2, Gamecube and vanilla Xbox had big sparks of brilliance when it comes to software. That gen justified totally owning all three consoles. You know what made creativeness so strong in that era? Competence.

 

The PS2 was in final design stages before the game Cube or Xbox was even revealed.  there was no way Sony could know what those consoles were like.

Now you're saying about removing two companies and leaving only one in charge. No, no. Prepare for pure showelvare with the ocasional awesome game in that scenario, because there's no one to compete with. You can get lazy and people would still be forced to purchase your product.

Ah yes, I remember the shovelware on PS1 and PS2 and NES.  All these consoles had pretty much no competition, yet I can't think of any decent games for any of those machines. /sarcasam.
