Here is an interesting read from Forbes on the decreasing individuality of the video game consoles. That as certain aspects of each console prove to be popular with the gaming public, the other consoles will copy that console and implement them into their current hardware. Yes, there are still some major differences between the consoles this generation. But will the choice of the console matter next generation? Will we see Nintendo, Sony and MS create three consoles that are basically identical to each other? I think this premise is plausible. I would not be surprised if each company designs a console with Blu-ray, a motion controller like the Wii-remote, and similar hardware specs. So, the questions is: is the choice of a console becoming irrelevant?
