Easy, we'd be playing the same hardware for the next ten years. Without any competetion Nintendo will choose not to innovate and therefore we'd be playing the Wii until another competitor emerges. We have already seen what a Nintendo-only market would be like, as it would be similar to the handheld market in the 90s or indeed the NES until the Genesis arrived.
Debating with fanboys, its not
all that dissimilar to banging ones
head against a wall
