I totally agree with Kwaad on the aspect of the multiplatforming. Yes, I also do think that one game with multiple systems in mind undoubtedly turns out to be not as good as a game that is developed from the ground up, specifically for the one console (Exclusives).
The one tiny thing that I do disagree with is basically just a personal thing; I hate monoplies. I would hate it if one company would own all of the video gaming in the world, because it would mean that they have total control over what they do, and that our opinions and thoughts would matter significantly less than if there was a competitor.
Then again, I might be misunderstanding you, Kwaad. I'm thinking you mean that you would like it if Sony (Can be replaced with the other companies as well) was the ONLY game console manufacturer, right?
This is why the N64/PSX comparison appeals to me, because in that case the platforms were different enough that they got a lot of 3rd party exclusives each. I think the Wii is different enough to make it worthwhile to have 2 strong consoles: although PS3 vs. 360 looks more like Saturn vs. Playstation.
