no.

and thats good, since we are going to have competition.



Competition is always good, if there would be no choice we would be left with no alternatives, high prices, shitty customer service etc. Also that company would control what type of games would be published leaving some customers without their favorite genre



I sure as hell hope not. That would just ruin the industry.....

I hope not. Look at Windows if you need an example.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

I sincerely hope not.

EA, however, does want such a travesty to pummel the industry. I say nuts to that.



I doubt that there will ever be only one: there are too many different game-design philosophies, and no single console can cater to them all. Even if there is only one console for a relatively brief period, another will inevitably arise to cater to whatever philosophies the established console neglects.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
