| That Guy said: People are worried about monopolies, but I'm not talking about monopolies. I'm talking about a unified hardware platform, much in the way that the DVD has a unified hardware platform. |
That'd be part of the problem, there's no agreement on what if a unified hardware platform should be for video games. Video games platforms are more complex than movies or music players because of the interaction. It’s not just a playback of something that’s been recorded it’s something you control directly and there’s no agreed single set-up for hardware that does that.
Just look at all the arguments on Wii Vs. The HD Consoles Vs. PC Vs. The Wonderswan or whatever. In a lot of ways video games as a media is still finding it’s voice.
