Ok, who else thinks it's time we had a single hardware format?
By all accounts hardware manufacturers (i.e. nintendo, microsoft, and sony) all lose money on their consoles. Which they then have to recoup on software sales (meaning games are more expensive for us to buy!).
Imagine the nightmare situation of having to own three different DVD players to watch say Lord of the Rings, Star wars and back to the future!. For one, DVD would never have became mainstream and two, a single winner would eventually emerge.
So isn't it about time the games market matured a little and said enough is enough and adopted a single format. With the potential market and mass produced by most major companies we could have a machine more powerful than we've got now for the same money.
Let's face it, it's going to happen eventually. After all when graphics become photorealistic and can't be improved upon, where else can they go? Your PS4 or XBOX3 will have graphics as good as the Lord of the Rings the film. The sound is almost the same already so what more could you want?
And finally we might then see an end to the tedious mine is better than yours fanboy nonesense!. We can but dream...
