The writing's on the wall? Hopefully, we will soon be entering an era where a universal video game console will hit the market and everybody develops for it (Not talking about the PC because it sucks.). Give it enough power to run virtually any game and allow for things like the Wii U Pad to be used as peripherals.

For gaming to reach that next level, we have to get away from the whole "You need a Nintendo to play Nintendo games/You need an Xbox to play Halo" mentality. I can watch a movie from any studio on my DVD/Blu Ray player. I can listen to any song from anybody on my CD/MP3 player. I need three different machines (or more) to play any game I want to.

Well to be honest, in 10-20 years time we probably won't even need consoles. Games will just be in cloud and all you'll need is a fast internet connection. So you'll probably just have to buy individual games digitally and never have to worry about missing out on exclusives or whatever. I look forward to such a day.
