This needs to happen, and I am glad both Sony and Microsoft are moving in this direction.

The next thing they need to do is build tablets/laptops and cell phones around the PlayStation and Xbox architecture and offer a fully cohesive line-up for home and mobile computing. This is the only stragtagy that can put them on course to compete with Google and Apple.

As a gamer, I need Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to compete and succeed, otherwise an Apple/Google future looks extreamly depressing. Trust me, I feel it in the mobile space already, if home went this way I would die.

I don't know why you need them to. You already have a choice between WIndows, Linux and Mac OS's for laptops and desktop computers, Apple Tablets as well as Android and of course MS ones as well.

I don't want to have 3 or 4 different OS's for my computing needs.  As a consumer I want all of my tech to talk,  and I want all of my purchased software to work whether I am using a stationary home device,  a large portable,  a phone,  or vr/AR. 

 

Microsoft is already heading in this direction with UWA,  and I think it is the greatest thing in the world. It is absolutely illogical to have an Xbox,  an Android,  a Mac,  and a Sony TV.  People that fracture the market like this are just making life harder for themselves and everyone else.  

 

If Apple fans buy only apple devices and Sony fans Sony device and so on and so forth,  then that will make the market so much stronger. Furthermore having the same tech in your Home Computer,  You Laptop/Tablet,  your Phone,  and your VR/AR devices makes development a dream,  and results in much higher quality software. 

 

This is why we need a Playstation and Xbox line of phones and laptop/tablets.  We need cohesive ecosystems,  and we need options that are built around make world class gaming and entertainment experiences.
