Just wondering. It's always PS3 vs Xbox 360...vs PC vs Wii? sure. But PS3 vs Xbox 360 mainly. Do you think there will be a time that Sony and Microsoft miraculously combine? Or do you think there will be a console that settles everything?

Or do you think this console war will go on forever?

I personally don't think Sony and Microsoft will combine. PSN is free and Xbox live isn't. But that'd be nice if crossplay was available. Earn total bragging rights. 8)

We need competition. It is a must for the industry to evolve.

Why would you want fanboyism to end? Thats like asking someone to no longer cheer for their favorite sports team.

No matter the state of the industry there will always be oposing fan-bases. Human nature dictates that in anything you do there is always a "Enemy" to face. Hell I'm sure there is even a evil face to stamp collecting. It's a uniting force that drives people to have passion for something, if the gaming industry ever somehow "Never will" becomes one united system then the fanboy wars will be against non-gamers who are out to just get a rise from people.

Even if there was one console on the market, fanboy-ism will never die. People will still argue over which franchise is better than the other... which game is the best out of the franchise...which weapon is the best... the type of controller you use... pepsi or coke... it will go on and on...

It'd be total anarchy, productivity would be non-existent. Everyone would be sitting down in their mothers basements all night and day playing World of Warcraft and talking to internet friends how many pixels Cysis has. And not getting any.

So the human race would die out because, being PC gamers, they never get laid, thus the population would take a massive hit i.e. x number of people dying while 0 babies are being born.

Also, all that Mountain Dew and Nachos PC gamers eat and drink couldn't be good for their health. This would drive the death rate up even further.

Places like nightclubs, bars, cinemas (basically establishment in the outside world) would go belly up because they wouldn't be taking in any revenue whatsoever. Everyone knows PC gamers never venture outside and have no social lives.

The world would be a terrible, terrible place if everyone was a PC gamer.

If there isn't a console war(which I seriously doubt will ever happen), or some kind of service war then there will still be those who argue all days about how their favorite game is way better than someone else.

Having a favorite console/franchise is alright, it becomes a problem when you go around screaming at other people for having different opinions than you. Soo.. System Wars is a pretty terrible place.

It would be awesome if all the console companies combined but I think that would be a monopoly and the government wouldn't let it happen.

It wouldn't be awesome at all. Competition is what we as consumers want.

It's human nature to take sides. To be comfortable with a norm and surround yourself with people with the same ideologies. What your asking is the same as trying to abolish anything that puts people on different sides of one another.

nope people will always like to argue about these pointless things.

If people will still defend something even after knowning the company does not care about that person then there is no point in seeing that anything will change their "loyalty" to a product

Yeah. That makes sense. I guess it's just best for one to not take part in it 24/7.

First question- Possibly but I doubt it. If they do, it wouldn't be a bad deal as long as M$ doesn't say "hey I think we should charge people to play online period Sony. Whatchu think?" and then they agree to do so. Second question- Nope. Absolutely not. There will always be a console war. Always. Unless you can combine a PC, Wii, PS3, and 360. Then yet some will probably find something to say about that. "The ps3 side is the best!", "no, no, 360 side killz ps3 and murderz teh wii!!!", "Wii saaide!". :P Just opinions.
