Actually I think that would worsen the scenario. I mean there are numerous brands of DVDs around with significant market share. Same thing will be with the game industry. I actually think we could gain some competitors as 3 may not be enough. Possibly companies like Apple coming into the industry. Not to mention a lot more growth in the PC market of gaming which has an even better shot of reaching its fullest potential. WoW is just the beginning. One console future I just don't think would help to expand the market as the market is viable to support 3 and 4. Only one console might actually hurt this cause although I can't explain why. I just think as this is obviously the expansion through capitalism, that competition will stay.

You would need a consortium controlling a gaming brand to have a 1-console future, just like there is 1 DVD system and 1 Blu-ray system with countless of different manufacturers going off with various brands and little ideas or gimmicks to distinguish their works. If there was the IESA, say, the International Entertainment Software Association that would set generational standards (minimum requirements), and there would have to be an elimination of the licensing process, too, which could be bad.
