Is the video game industry inevitably headed towards a one-console future? Ben Hoyt of Emergent and Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights square off once again.

The bright cyan and lime colorways celebrate the Horizon Festival’s recognition of iconic cars and hit music, with special features that are sure to impress any collector."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
what Debate?
Good God! That controller has more buttons than the Jaguar!
it's called a gaming PC, if you want that, go get a gaming PC..
otherwise, leave the console world to it's own. There's room for both ways of marketing and delivering games and entertainment. Each has it's own advantage.
Sure, one console would end "fanboyism" as we know it. But that is the only "positive" that would come from having "one" future console.
On the consumer end, this would be a very very bad thing!!
One console would mean that we would have no "choice". Having no choice means that we would have to succumb to the pricing and business models of "one" particular company.
So in turn what would keep a company from charging anything that they want for their console and the games that are used on their console?
NOTHING! Because competition would be non-existent.
You all better hope that this never happens.
Remember, competition sustains a healty market.
who needs it if theres a ps3 supercomputer that has movie graphics and wont max out, leave it
