Too many companies are scared of this upcoming gen being unprofitable to them. Too many speculators are thinking the home console days are coming to an END. Why not just make 1 console and split the profits 3 ways? It's all about that licensing money and they could do that if they wanted to.

Because no competition would be disastrous. We'd end up with a wii mote, paying for online and a $600 console. Yay. :|

All they do is rehash until the cows come home. I rather all my rehashes be in 1 place.

The industry wouldn't progress if there wasn't an incentive for a console manufacturer to come up with something new.

Microsoft's business model is already impossible for me to support, and there are rumors floating around that would make it very difficult to support Sony next gen if true. All 3 companies collaborating on a single console would probably not be a very good thing.

I don't doubt Pay To Play Online in PS4. There are a lot of things Sony hasn't revealed yet.

It wouldn't be any more expensive. just wii plus x360 was more than $600. All 3 have wii remotes now playstation plus and xbl gold are both required next-gen and both are THE SAME THING!!! Rehashes are about all they do anymore anyway.

I don't doubt Pay To Play Online in PS4. There are a lot of things Sony hasn't revealed yet.

It wouldn't surprise me, either. I'm hoping that's not the case, though, because I would like to support the PS4.

That would end in a Monopoly and gaming would be a lot more expensive hobby.

I love it when threads like this come up.

Here.

http://www.newegg.com/

Build your system that has everything.

Sony Supported, Microsoft Supported and it can technically play Nintendo games.

I assumed that they would keep free to play but all of the additional things being offered will be payed for. Something like Silver and Gold, but with free online gaming.

The chance of that happening is equal to the chance of me walking with God in the Heavens and then descending down on Earth to share the miracle of knowledge with all.

Well, I'm still holding out hope that that is the case. I just wouldn't be surprised at all if online play falls on that second tier. We will have to wait for the official announcement.
