one console with a large active userbase would be better than 3 consoles with a small active userbase each.  ports, unnessisary code branches, and the increased QA time associated with that will be eliminated once wiiU and xbone support are completely dropped increasing profitability by lowering development costs.  so as long as ps4's active user base > ps3 + 360 + wii's active userbase things will be coming up roses for third parties.

This.

It is easier and cheaper to make a game for one console than for three. With one dominant console you also have less price fighting which drives down profits and less fighting over exclusive content and ad deals. Two consoles that are fighting close will run each other into the ground and the winner will be whoever is willing to dump the most money into the project. It's bad for the industry and bad for gamers.
