I think a single platform is something which will definately come in the future. I'm thinking the whole protect the children is a load of bull in honestly.
But.
A while back, my Bro, who was Xbox only bought a PS4 and was talking in party about how he was enjoying Last of Us. Suddenly people he had gamed with for 5-10 years were calling him a Pony and Sony fag. So much so, he had to block some long time friends, and he eventually sold his one, because it had soured his experience. I want to enjoy my game time when I come home from work, and play usually with friends, family and other friends of both. I'm happy to include some random extras sometimes, but I don't want my gaming experiance to be cross platform console warring instead of playing something with a smile on my face.
Secondly, I am amazed that Nintendo are allowing Xbox live on to the Switch. Even to the extent that they are talking about possibly having achievements for your account on a system which doesn't have any itself. I think that fact is blurring what might well have been different if it was done via a third party unification system.
