These idiotic rants need to be kept on the forums. Don't assume that everyone that comes to this site wants to sift throught things like "the ethics of cheating" and "what might happen if there was one console" to get to the news posts, cause most likely, they don't.

There is a reason consoles exist. Like you mentioned, if we wanted one console, we'd use the PC. Consoles exist to keep costs down for consumers and create a standard platform that doesn't need to be upgraded. It's what makes rentals possible, and bringing your games to your friends house.
Consoles also force developers to take the time to work around limitations rather than just requiring more memory, graphic power, etc.
I think what MIGHT happen is a single platform for gaming, with multiple companies creating different hardware. For example, look at the PC market. They all run windows and are compatible with each other, but different companies make different looking machines.
So maybe Nintendo will make a low cost machine that runs GAME OS just fine but does nothing else, Sony makes a slick looking machine that can also play Blu-Ray and organize your music files, and Microsoft makes one with extensive online options and customizations.

"What we'll probably end up with is a compartmentalized console, where one can purchase parts - like memory and processor - separately. That way consumers can purchase only the specific parts they want or need."
That's what we call, a PC

I'm sorry, but this is utterly rediculous. Sure, some companies may run out of business but we'll never see one universal platform. And we won't see upgradable parts either beyond Optical disk or hard disk add-on drives. Just look at Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD. We have two formats competing because no one could unanimously agree on a successor to the DVD and neither will Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft agree upon one standard.

The idea is just silly. As long as there is money to be made there will be competitors. A company may die out and we could be left with one console for a time but then another company would rise to power simple as that. I honestly don't see Nintendo selling out to MS but I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of company merge between MS and either Sony or Nintendo. But does that mean the end of the other? No because that would just up the ante. Ninty would finally shell out money for a power house or Sony would be able to fall back on its Japanese dollars and do the same. Thats just one scenario out of many and all of them have the same answer.
One Console Futures are just not going to happen. This post was not necessary so lets try to avoid cry baby rants on this site. Theres enough idiocy already.

Still, for the title, I'd say that I, at least, WANT a super winner, because I don't wanna buy 3 consoles next gen... it cost TOO MUCH!

This will never happen. The fact alone that the main 3 console makers do rigion lockouts to prevent piracy is enough proof to see why a one console future will "NEVER" happen "EVER" this is all just a deam some fan boy drempt up and push and push for support. The fact of the matter is. this fan boy will eith give up this dream or be pushing for it till his last breath on this earth. cause it will never happen. Its like asking sony, Ms, and nintendo. to all work together tword a common goal. while at the same time giving up lots of "exclusivity rights and quite a bit of profet.
I laugh, LAUGH I SAY. This will never be.

that is just poor economics. as long as there is a market for multiple consoles, then there shall be multiple consoles. making a statement that bols is like saying that there will only be one car company in 5 years, there will only be one fast food restaraunt, or only one cell phone provider. grow up count chocula, why even post anything like this? if everyone wanted one console we would buy pc games.
i have all the next gen console and bought them all for seperate reasons. microsoft, sony, and nintendo will never make one console together, it would cut severely into thier profit margins. what could they possibly gain by doing this? how would they resolve all of thier different intellectual properties (exclusive titles). what would happen to the video game industry, it would SUCK. as for the "monopoly" theory, there are laws in place to prevent such things from happening in a single market. pick up a macro-economics book and do some reading before even making an assumption that something this huge would happen in a multi-billion dollar industry where everyone is already making plenty of money.

both the sega saturn and nintendo64 had ram upgrade cartridges required for certain games (japanese only releases maybe). i remember buying ram upgrade plus region unlocking cart to play metal slug on my saturn back in the day.

I dont know why all you guys are bad mouthing QJ for this article, I think its an interesting read. Not at all about putting up new articles to cover a dry patch. Anyway I think the only people who would benefit from having a one console future would be the manufacturers although it would be a cool idea

wouldnt that be illegal or something. if they all merged then it would be a monopoly and they could raise the prices really high cause there would be no competition to get a cheaper alternative. isnt that whats happening with sirius and xm sattelite raido. theyre trying to merge but they wont let them.
