I think gamings best days were when it was just 2 consoles against eachother. Sega vs. Nintendo, Sony vs. Nintendo, etc. I would love for one console manufactuer to bow out (rumors that no PS4 is planned and over 4 billion in losses just from the PS3 alone hints to Sony but I doubt it) because it is much easier to own and buy just two console and avoid huge back catalogues and spending crazy money (I get Nintendo's consoles always, than get a second console later. This gen I own all 3 but my gaming rig is starting to see all the third party games that I bought the 360 and PS3 for. Now I just use my consoles for exclusives)
Microsoft seems to be taking all their consumers and briging them back to PC with Kinect for PC, Xbox 360 controllers for PC, all the apps and stuff, they seem to be converting to casual now.
They could bow out as well. I think we can all agree Nintendo won't bow out this coming gen so they are safe.
