Could you imagine if microsoft sony and nintendo came together and made a super console putting all there ideas together to make the ultimate experience. its probably one of the most unlikely things to happen but hey what if they did.
i soppose the main issue about selling it would be the price. For example loads of people were wanting a ps3 when it came out but then when they heard the price they thought well maybe its a bit to much for my standards.
And would anybody really be that interested in it? Hey it might be the best console but ive already got a console and im fine with that thank you very much, could be a response from many people.
Could you imagine having backwards compatibilty for the ps3, ps2, 360, wii, gamecube, and the rest of the companys consoles ? Yet do you think it would be possible ?
i was just thinking about it and thought i would share... =D

There was a news story a few weeks back regarding Electronic Arts pushing for a 'Universal Console', basically they're tired of having to make 14 different versions of each game everytime they make a new title and of course if would save them a fortune in costs if they only had to make one game for one console each time.
It'd be great for all developers, 500 million people all using the same console basically equates to guaranteed sales for every game they make.
The only downside is for gamers, with no competition out there developers can pump out all the crud games they want and we've got nowhere to run.
I would be surprised if EA tried to push into the hardware market within the next 5 years or so, they've got far too much to lose if it goes wrong. As far as I can see the market is only just big enough for 3 console manufacturers, anyone else trying to get a bite of the apple is going to be hard-pressed to get developers to port games for them.
That includes gaming via TV set top boxes, I just can't see console gaming being so popular in households that people start downloading games to a dedicated/multi-purpose set top box and playing them on the main TV set. I'm slighly biased here in so far as every single console I've ever owned over the last 25 years has always been set up on the spare TV in a quiet room to enable 'getting away from it all'.
So personally I'd rather not see it come to fruition. Console wars are a good thing in that they're constantly trying to out do each other in terms of latest technology and best games at competitive prices. With just one console there'd be no real incentive to do that anymore.

oh really ? never really heard about that but i think it would have been pretty neat.
Well, we could have had a Playtendo years back if Nintendo weren't such control freaks.
