What happens with the videogame industry as we know it if there is an outbreak of semi-compatible miniconsoles, that have decent horsepower, and they sell and more and more jump into the videogame business?  I mean stuff that happened right before the crash in the early 1980s where everyone and their cousin released consoles?  Say they are android based, but don't tie into the android shop?  In short, the business model Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo run gets undermined, and they sell decent amount?  Are we looking at the end of AAA tiles as we know it today, and more flash-iOS minigame stuff?
