The final step off the platform for the console system is gonna be when it merges with the TV. Same with the Blu-Ray Player and DVD Player, and the cable box, and the DVR. They've been capable of doing it for years now but they don't because they can make more money selling them all seperately. After that, the computer will merge with the TV and it will all be controlled from your couch. Whether you wanna use a controller or a keyboard and mouse will be up to you, but individual console manufacturers will be history.
Think of it like Steam and napster/iTunes. They murdered software retailers like GAME, EB Games, Future Shop, BestBuy, HMV, when they started selling their stuff over the internet. It was something they had been capable of doing for ages but no one wanted to do it because they make more money off of it this way. Their millions of dollars of retail stores became obsolete overnight because of them. Steam however is doing fine, but they are putting A LOT of people out of business. Whoever does do it will make a fortune though.
