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. |
While "cohesive systems" may promote innovation for cross-device talk, there still needs to be an element of standardisation, or else people would be doomed to buy only one brand once they've put enough commitment into it. Imagine how it would be if you wanted to change platforms? You'd have to replace very electronic device in your life to maintain the old status quo.
