The all in one console.

Okay again a "What if" topic form me!

What if Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and all other console makers sit together and make together a console that can run WII, PS3, XBOX360 and all other games.

Then there would happen serval thing acording to me:

1) Less bullying as: "hahaha, you don't have a XBOX360" or "hahaha, you have a Gameboy Advance SP and no DS"
2) Money save: you can have everthing in one.
3) A gaint boost of profit in old games and new games.
4) A monopoly of the gaints: Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft!

So what is your opinion?

 

They would lose individual profit. If they made an all in one console, they would have to split the profits... and no one wants to do that :|

 

Horrible, horrible idea.

A monopoly is not a good thing, no competition.

 

Plus the system wouldn't work. They all code their games to work with their consoles.

 

Competition is good, that's why there's laws in place to ensure it.

 

Then the console must be giant. Every disk reader is different!

Though, the startup of the disks is different.
XBOX is unknown for me, but GBA and PlayStation (1) games run instantly after startup.

 

And think of the cd that need to put in...

 

So when you say every console... do you mean everything from NES or even Atari, up to the next-gen systems?

because even though it would cause a monopoly (which I believe is illegal), I've had this idea before and it would be totally awesome... especially if it was handheld...

 

The CD size of the GameCube is tiny.

 

? 4 GB if I'm correct.. A Verbatim disk has 4 GB and we use it for the Wii.

 

DOUBLE LAYER 8GB

 

But that is an double disk. A normal disk is 4 GB.

 

I believe Gamecube discs are only about 1.5GB

 

Why would the work together when all the fun is competition?

 

I agree with you. Also wthat would cost a lot of money and where is the money gonna go to?

 

It'd go towards making the consoles. If you hadn't noticed, both the 360 and PS3 don't make a profit hardware wise.

 

They did this already with the Super Nintendo, NES and Genesis

but these were third party systems, and they had both device and cartridge compatibility issues

 

... my PC is an ALL-IN-ONE console... I just got a motherboard that accepts 8X4 gigs of ram (32) and 2 videocards... this thing is going to be so awesome, the xbox 360 games are going to smile (take that, red rings of death)

 

Except that you can't play PS3 exclusives and 360 only games (like Alan Wake and a couple others).

Of course you're using a hyperbole so I'll let that slide.

Do the electric sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide
