| Mr Khan said: If you subscribe to the idea of killer apps as console pushers, then the question of broadening userbase is a non-issue. There are certain individual games that prompt people to buy consoles, or buy into gaming period. Having those games available across a wider space wouldn't have significantly effected something like, say, Halo 3 or NSMBWii, or Gran Turismo 5 as it rolls around For less compelling titles, there might be an advantage in having a universal pool to play in, but at the top of the heap, the need for software overwhelms hardware barriers. |
True, though that doesn't mean the home console space can't be grown. With a unified console, the home console could become a more compelling offer for someone who is used to playing on PC.
But overall, I huess you guys are right and there won't be a significant growth in install base from a unified console.
