MS leaving the console race would be good for gamers.

Competition = Quality.

Remove Microsoft, and Sony won't work so hard to make good first party games. Compare PS3's 1st party exclusives to PS1/2's, they are a lot better.

Sure the PS1/N64 era was pretty good, but Nintendo was more competetive then with the core.

PS1 had one of the best libraries ever and it only had real comp from N64. (Does Saturn really count.....)

Saturn was as big as N64 in Japan, and got a few really good JRPG's. From what I hear Panzer Dragoon Saga is the best 32 bit JRPG so.... :-/)

PS1 had the best library because of 3rd party studios. Not 1st.........

Actually I retract my statement because during the PS1/PS2 era days Nintendo provided enough competition. Still, competition makes quality, remember how bad Zelda 2, Metroid 2, and Super Mario Bros 2 were? Back then Nintendo had no competiton.
