Topic: "Next generation could see unified console"

No way that would ever happen.

And thank God too.

Imagine if there was only ONE next gen console.  That means 100% monopoly.  That means no sales competition... which means prices would skyrocket on everything from the system itself to its peripherals to software.   $1000 for a new console?   Wouldn't doubt it.  $100 per new game?  Yep.  Diversity is a good thing in commerce.  Financial competition brings the desire to out perform a competitor in the eye of the demographic.


Did you read the article? The guy isn't calling for one console, he's calling for one standard that all companies can produce. That means Sony, Sega, Toshiba, Nintendo, Microsoft, Marvel Comics and even Fox would be creating the same console. Sure, maybe some of them will offer extra features (e.g. Blu-Ray support from Sony), but they'll all play the same software.

I like the way this man thinks

Refer to prior posting where I'm not a GAMEfag.  As long as I'm not that, the rest is irrelevant.  You can throw your legs up over your head and spurt into your own mouth all you want, figuratively speaking.  My point is made regardless.
