After the dust settles after the great console war Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft (and maybe even Sega) will stay standing. What next? ready for the next stage of warfare well how about the greatest treaty ever.

Imagine if one console with Microsofts Specs, Nintendo's Controllers and Sony's friendly attitude towards 3rd party developers were to be released. Could you imagine if Zelda, Final fantasy and Shenmue stood side by side. Joanna Dark shaking hands with Lara croft and Mario and Sonic going down the pub together for a friendly drink rather than a bar room brawl.

If there was one console the public would love it. No arguments with their friends everyone would experience great games from all the companys. The quality of games will be forced up and prices will fall. The console could also be upgraded rather than replaced much like a PC and the profits will be split equaly by the 3 (or 4) companys.

The thought of Playing Syphon filter, Sonic, Mario, Shenmue, Zelda, Grand Turismo, Pokemon, Perfect Dark, Final fantasy and House of the Dead all together without having to dish £100+ for an extra console each time is a thrilling prospect.

Here's to the Future.

Now how useful was the c buttons in Zelda and Turok and the c stick imagine a boxing game where the analogue sticks represent the boxing gloves or ores on a rowing boat. Nintendo invented the z trigger and there controller is always comfortable.

The N64 controller is very good... apart from the obvious flaws.

It is very comfortable, and the z button is great. However the L button is never used, and the c buttons seem pointless.

I'm a bit worried about the c stick mind... but I'm not even sure the Gamecube controller is the finished one after all.
