nintendo will always be off in left field doing some crazy gimmick that most of us aren't interested in to begin with, since the DS come out this has been their schtick and it's made them successful beyond imagination. but sony and microsoft consolidating would be a major improvement to the current state of things, it really is redundant to own both a PS3 and a 360 and they're ultimately competing for the same demographic, it would be a good move for everyone.
