I understand that you think I'm a moron.. congrats. But let me put a little more info into it.
Consider the fact that a P.C. is about the size of... what... a medium sized dog? ( Terrible example...) What I see as a prominent future is not one where thirteen different companies produce such a large and massive amount of programs for so many different operating systems, but rather a console that can do exactly the same as a P.C. and include the gaming aspect just as efficiently.
Television technology has created a revolution of enjoying high definition viewing and thus blow the industry into a mayhem. Everyone wants to know how well the (PS3/360/Wii/) compare on different televisions and how each industry offers their customer's different incentives for subsequent inquires and explorations. The rewards are great. But the competition that results from N/S/M creates such an oligopoly that there seems to be no single way for any new entry into the market besides Apple.
My idea revolves around the a platform that includes such expandability on a foundation of open sourced information and sharing of contributions to the industry and expansionary efforts. I wouldn't simply expect Microsoft to retain every aspect of profit from the production, but rather a type of merging of technological information that would lead to a console of amazing proportion and production. If each major company agreed on an ideal platform and implemented their ideas to a board of reasonable, top positioned holders (that truly hold an interest in the expansion of their works), a universal medium would create the following:
1. Production costs would plummet.
2. Expansionary principles intact; future revenue would almost certainly be achieve through the expansion of the system.
3. Software for the console would become a major strong-point. I'm not asking that the console play every game ever made, rather to allow licensed games to be played with certain criteria. (Of which I'm not sure how they can determine.. or would determine)
4. A unified console would allow production to increase at such a large rate, developing nations would be allowed access to unheard of information for cheap, cheap prices. And even if the consoles, after such large production, are too costly, the corp.'s could allow the nations to adapt their technology at the cost of holding to it. For at least the life of the product.
Although competition is wonderful, and our economic system is based off of it's principles, I seriously believe a new way to expand and ease the spread of information would be MUCH easier through a modern medium.
My principle relies heavily on the idea of the modern television system taking intact.
