Competition keeps innovation rolling and prices stable. If all consoles could play the same games they would only differentate by power. This would lead to competitors dropping out of the market one after another and then the remaining company will have the ability to set prices however it wants. Do you think a console would still cost 400, then? Think again. Do you think you would still pay only 60 for the online subscription and another 60 for the average AAA game?
At the same time, do you believe you would still have the same width and scope of games like we are used to today? Many franchises wouldn't be supported anymore and the software manufacturors would only produce the same games over and over again with no reason to become creative or diverse.
