My remark was sort of an exaggeration cos I'm feeling pessimistic about the industry today... But in theory if what you're saying occurs (with Xbox) who's to say Nintendo or Sony gaming division won't buy them out just to acquire their ip's ( Nintendo could do with them, for example) then we'd be down one just like that... Call me crazy (and you did!) but I just get the feeling we're gonna be one console down by the end of this gen. 

Oh you meant one console down... you're post made it seem like there would only be one console on the market.

yeah my original remark did sound like that but I was being a bit miserable... I doubt it will happen for a while but i do think the industry will shrink...I also doubt either sony or nintendo will drop out any time soon (ms...who knows?). Even if they fail this gen they'd give it another shot...but ultimatly I think in the future some of these companies are gonna have to rethink their strategies (which nintendo has already publicly acknowledged) to stay afloat and who knows what that could entail?
