Umm sure, then they can just sell exclusivity rights of every genre to EA and be done with it. Then good gaming as we know it can lie down peacefully and die.
Console wars generate healthy competition. Without it, there's no reason to focus on quality.

You're pretty much right but the PC is our fallout shelter, so we wouldn't be completely doomed.Crunchy English post=9.69256.654090 said:
No, they should stay far far away from eachother.
Besides, I think the better combination would be Sony and Nintendo. for one, they're both Japanese so that's a huge plus right there.
Combine Sony's technology and Nintendo's innovations (whatever innovation they'll think of next) and you've got the WiiSTation or the...Plaii?

They should stay at each others throats until one drops out/is beaten into submission or until Nintendo's replacement overthrows them.(I'm sure Nintendo will be the first to slip from gaming into general recreation) I say replacement because it's always the big 3 going at it:
SEGA v Sony v Nintendo
Microsoft v Sony v Nintendo
Microsoft v Sony v whoever(Phillips? Mitsubishi? I could see them taking a shot. Honda, the're into robotics why not games.)

I know the CD-I, and I know it was a smashing failure. Honda would if the industry expands enough because they have the money to spend and make more money. Mitsubishi make more than LandRovers and Rally cars. They make all sorts of electronics as well. I didn't say Apple because I don't want the I the iConsole to happen and with the iPhone and recent surge in iPods it's a frightening possibility.juandonde post=9.69256.654225 said:
Ninny and Sonny were goign to make a CD attachment to the SNES or something, but then Ninny decided to actually look at the deal they were signing and backstabbed Sony and turned to Phillips.Indigo_Dingo post=9.69256.654230 said:
Sonny was berry angwery, so they decided to create the Playstation.
You should know the rest.
What you may not realize is that Nintendo is the one who has been around the block a few times when it comes to this kind of thing. They made all their mistakes early (R.O.B.), when a couple thousand dollars wouldn't completely destroy a company. Unfortunately a few years later the first competitor did drop (R.I.P. Sega Hardware). Sony recently made a very large mistake with PS3, and Microsoft has yet to screw up royally.
When it comes to the console war, as this thread seems to be switching to, I hate to say it but Nintendo will be the first to drop. Every cent that company is (more or less) invested into games and the consoles they create. If they create another system which flops *cough*Gamecube*cough* then that will probably end them all together. The only thing is it will need to flop harder than the PS3 has.
-For anyone about to say that the PS3 didn't flop, please first explain why all of the games still come out for PS2.-
When it comes down to it, hybrid consoles are a stupid idea for all involved. While its fun to dream, think about the practicality of it. If you were to take current consoles and combine them, for fun lets just say the Xiibox is made: To allow the capability to play games in HD, as well as allows motion sensors for the appropriate games, your looking at a console that will cost somewhere in the range of $700 or more. Probably more, because we all know that these things that we love are meant to suck dry our pockets. It also wouldnt work well for the makes because, as our friend Crunchy English said:

Stop that, you're making me feel old I remember when the Atari 2600 was hot stuff.Jumplion post=9.69256.654340 said:
Ah yes. The technically first succesfull home console (not counting the Brown Box/Odessy), cause of the video game crash that for some reason people think will happen to us right now but cannot happen right now because a plethorea of crap will have to come along all of a sudden.nilcypher post=9.69256.654366 said:
Oh, How I'll rue the day when I complain about gaming now in the near future.
perhaps it would be awesome, and new and dominating in the marketParsley post=9.69256.654077 said:
