One-console future? That could work

A one-console future could work. Somewhat. With a slight bit of change.

Not even Bob the Builder would touch that one.

Gazondaily5417d ago

Looks like Batman's utility belt, except Joker spat phlegm on it.

Getowned5416d ago

it looks like rotten green jellow :D..lol that thing would look stupid on my tv stand.

No competition = death of the console market.

buttclown5416d ago

Not mentioning the competition, I would love to see the person who thinks Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft could all work together on the same console and still do what each of them wants to

TyrionL5416d ago

I think they could take the competition to the games. Each focus on trying to make the best and most innovative game. I think it could work, but defiantly not with a fanboy mentality.

Apotheosize5416d ago

You mean a unified open platform? Hmm I wonder if we have something like that today...

kneon5416d ago

I've been saying for a while that Microsoft could make a future Xbox a PC. It would just be a PC in a living room friendly case. Give windows 8 a "gaming" mode that shuts down all the superfluous services so as to free up as much resources as possible for gaming.

But it's not just Microsoft, Sony could go the same way, but they would have to buy valve first. With Steam under their control and their awesome group of studios they could be the major player in PC gaming. Again the playstation would be a PC in a nice case for the living room.

"Sony could go the same way, but they would have to buy valve first. With Steam under their control and their awesome group of studios they could be the major player in PC gaming."

What is this blasphemy!!! you stay the hell away from steam..

kneon5416d ago

It's just business. I know Valve have said in the past that they are not for sale, but they also said they didn't like the PS3, and look how that's turned around.

Stranger things have happened.

limewax5416d ago

If Valve had any intention to sell out to Sony we would have seen at least one other Valve game for sale over the PS3 steamworks overlay. But its just not happening.

The whole idea of having a PC in a nice case for the living room is readily available, Its called buying a PC with a nice case. Then putting it in the living room. Why would Sony or MS start trying to offer something that's already offered?

Getowned5415d ago (Edited 5415d ago )

what it really sounds like is you want a PC hooked up to a TV and that's possible even now,you could easily hook up a gaming computer to you're 50" TV and get a wireless keyboard and mouse or 360 controler along with a wireless internet adapter..that future xbox Pc idea of yours already is a real thing called a PC and it dose'nt sound like you do much pc gaming or you would know this and you would know thar Steam is better then both PSN and XBL you would'nt believe the sales and all the games Steam is not a small community.i have a PC,PS3,satellite and a Wii all hooked up to my 42" HD TV an my gaming PC is on a computer desk were i want it.Also as limewax said you can buy some really nice PC cases just look at some on Newegg.com

kneon5415d ago

I already have an i7 930 with a 5850 hooked up to my main TV, and it's not even the most powerful PC in the house. And yet it rarely get's used for gaming. And I'm not new to PC gaming, I've been PC gaming since the Apple ][ and am old enough to remember not only the Atari 2600 but also Atari Pong, Coleco Telstar and the Magnavox Odyssey. And yes Steam is superior, that's why it makes sense for Sony to buy it, there would be no point if it sucked.

And you've misunderstood, I never said I wanted either company to do this, only that it is a possible strategy that I'm sure both have considered, and may very well have rejected. For both companies it would greatly reduce hardware development costs and likely improve reliability, increase the size of the market etc. There are lots of pluses, but the trick is how to move to this model and still maintain or grow revenue.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle42d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg48d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree48d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai48d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde49d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy49d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12549d ago (Edited 49d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
