Depends sort of IMO. When you have too much competetion it leads to a situation where Sega is gone for example. And that wasn't good for gamers, we lost a really valuable part of gaming when Sega dissolved away. 

Too many gaming options can be bad because a legitimately good one can end up getting less marketshare than they should.

And that meant Sega wasn't strong and that was bad for the industry

People can only buy so much game hardware. Sega did everything they could with the Dreamcast, but someone was going to be pushed out.
