The industry wouldnt profit from it but I would. Consoles are cool and all but its annoying to have so many in the house over the years it accumulates. I would love to have just one console manufacturer. Sony for Hardware only MS for the Software part OS/Online etc and Nintendo as a game developer. Backwards compatible to PS1/2/3 Wii/GC Xbox/Xbox360 also with Nintendos Virtual Console for N64/SNES/NES Bluray and compatible to all Bluetooth Hardware of all current gen consoles. I would GLADLY spend 600/700 at Launch.

Sure its pure fantasy but I as consumer profit if one or two of the 3 drops out. As that means less systems. Hardware should be unified that saves costs in Software development which then could be used to improve the games. Also since such a console would sell 200-300 Million units the cost for the hardware would fall like a rock.


You realise that this was the basis behind the 3DO? Multiple electronics companies building a unified console architecture. It didn't quite sell that amount, plus it remained quite expensive despite the competition.
