If the online networks cannot work together then at some point one console will probably take a considerable (>50%) lead and then have a near permament control over the the market and monopolise it. If they cannot work together on networking then there can be only one. Where you have interoperatability you have a competitive market and where you don't you get a monopoly.
The market will move towards one standard whether people want it or not. If we don't get multiple hardware / single network standard then we will get one hardware standard / one network.
Tease.
