Some of these would be tricky to pull off. Remember, the secret to making these things is not having a result in mind, but a turning point. For instance, how would Nintendo have gone out of business? Where would Sega have gotten the funding to compete with the PS2? How would you prevent something as prevalent as multiplayer from becoming a big deal?
Frankly, if you wanted to minimize the importance of multiplayer on consoles, you'd have to go VERY far back. Remember, the first console games EVER were mutliplayer only!
