Destructoid Condemns One Console Future Concept

FILED UNDER: News. Games.

Dr. Boa at Destructoid has written an interesting editorial about the idea of a one-console future, something urged by David Jaffe and Dennis Dyack. While they have an argument from the perspective of game developers, this ridiculous idea has zero benefit for gamers. For proof, you need only look as far as the battle between PS3 and Xbox 360. Love it or hate it, the Xbox 360 has forced the PS3 to get better. Competition breeds evolution, and that benefits everyone. Why David Jaffe can't get his mind around this fundamental concept is beyond me. Thankfully, it's also beyond Dr. Boa.

Jaffe and Dyack are crazy if they think that it will make gaming life better. So why would I waste five minutes of your time seemingly giving the thumbs-up to a one-console future? Because while I painted what an ugly future it would be if we had 200 consoles, having one would be even worse.
