Think about it, all consoles combined. Amazing, just think about it.

The whole world can join in unity because of this beautiful console...

The possibilities are endless....

Could it bring world peace???




Answer: Probably not

This could be the best invention ever made 4 the gaming community. It will also end the old "Which console is best?" agruments. (Thank God)

What name will it have, what game will there be,what shape will it have and who will make it?

Thats 4 you to decide......

Well, yeah, but it's never going to happen.
Sony would be a bit useless anyway.

One console in the market means no competition and no competition means they can charge whatever they think they can get away with.

Sony would want to make cheap parts, Microsoft would want to charge fee's while Nintendo would rarther be out of business.
What seemed the most likely thing that was ever to happen would of been different consols that played the same media, like vcr or dvd players.

Howevor now i could see the most likely thing being online consolse which you download the same games for, howevor you would still get exclusives, and for multi-format games you would have to select the right box, like operating systems when downloading software from the internet.

It'll never happen completely, the clostest you'll get to it would be the equivalent of the pc market, one company dominates and maybe a couple of smaller companies lagging behind. Do you really want that when they could do what they want without any fear of alienating their buyers, they'll never team up, shared responsibilities means shared profits.
