Real question is where would we be without competition.

Remember PS3 release? Or Nintendos market politics in the late 80s/early 90s?

Competition is neccessary. That's why it's stupid to want any of the gaming companies quit the race. And probably even more stupid to want Sony and Nintendo siding. There should be at least two competitors that, ideally, are equally strong.

Totally wrong fallacy. Competition should come from software only.

As long as there are not different manufacturers for compatible hardware?

Nope, competition is important, always. That's for console hardware and features as well.
