I agree on both, but I don't think any domination could make the diversity and games get better nowadays
. Domination is one of the many factors that made the PS2 so great and the last gen not so good game-wise. The others factors are game dev cost that exclude smaller studios and games, gamers favoring a few series of AAA games, and hardware looking more and more similar.Anyway I agree a lower level of competition on hardware doesn't have negative impact on game and studios competition.


Reading you comment, I think you may be on to something.  I hadn't considered the few AAA games that dominate the year.  Nowadays even if PS4 does PS2 numbers, no one wants to play Oddworld, Ratchet/Clank, Knack, Max and the curse of the brotherhood (ie quirky games).  So diversity may still fail.  But I have faith that may not be the case.  Because if HYPE is saling these PS4s (just like with WiiU) people who don't game are getting PS4s and they will not play COD, AC, Madden etc.  They will want family style games.  In other words i think PS4 is getting the WiiU casuals, not because they have software to recruit them but solely becaus eo fhype.

"No one wants to play Oddworld"???  I bought that game DAY 1 and haven't regretted it one bit!  It's an awesome game!

When i say "no one" i mean the masses.  That game will not sale 1 million (hell it wont sell 350,000).
