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. |
YOu don't need to have to use different OS's, you can just use MS windows, MS phone, MS tablets, MS console etc. MS have a phone that will plug into a dock and work with a desktop screen and keyboard if that's what you're after.
Personally I don't really see anything amazing in a limited idea of trying to be jack of all trades, master of none, especially with a one corp, one product ideal that some have. I'm a consumer who prefers buying different products from different companies that serve different purposes and ones that do it well rather than wanting everything to do everything under a single company. Market fracture is always going to be a thing, it's been this way for centuries for as long as there has been options and competition, especially with technology.
Apple fans have bought their Apple products for years, nothing has changed that userbase from buying what that company sells.
High quality software is subjective though, we've seen MS being on and fof with Windows throughout the years, same with Apple in both the tablet/phone area and the software stores they've provided over the eyars and sofwatre allowed onto their stores hasn't produced stellar quality everywhere with no bad quality games/software in sight.
We don't really need console style PC's and tablets, that's what you want based on your very niche preference of how you do your bills and such from your Vita/PS3 which is as niche as you can get since everyone else in the average world uses their laptop/desktops to handle their documents, emails, bills etc. Phones and tablets can do some tasks but not every task known to man and neither are the consoels, there is a reason why a PC designs everything else, it's the base for everything nad nothing much has changed it's place and it's main use. You aren't going to get a Sony tablet controlling dams or power planets, otherwise we'd be there right now if we shared such a small and odd dream.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
