I know this will probably never happen but we can dream right. I am a die hard PS3 fanboy but I gotta admit that Microsoft is doing the best they can to please their fan base and they have some great franchises like Halo, Gears of War and Fable. They're not like the peice of **** Nintendo who are releasing garbage games and sequel after sequel and they're fooling the people with their waggle controllers.

Anyway it'll be amazing if the 2 company decide to make 1 console next generation, I mean imagine being able to play

Halo

Killzone

Gears of War

Resistance

God of War

Uncharted

Fable

Gran Turismo

Forza Motorsport

Project Gotham Racing

Ratchet & Clank

LittleBigPlanet

Banjo-Kazooie

Infamous

all on 1 system, that would be the dream console.

So what do you guys think?

I personally think it would be great.

I think the two compliment each other very well, and share a lot of the same goals.

the issue is teaming up with Nintendo which i don't think neither Microsoft or Sony would mix well at all.

it sounds good, but a monopoly in any industry is NEVER a good thing we consumers benefit massively from competition

You forgot, Metal gear, Tekken & Final Fantasy... owe wait. But love the idea, I mean who doesn't want to play Ratchet & Clank...

You are right bro but I can already play those on my PS3 . Metal Gear Solid is one of my favourite franchises.

God I hope not.

there would be no competition, the console wuld quickly tie up the entire console market.

And because there is no competition, they will make the console extremely expensive...

if nintendo stayed with the wii route of gaming they might do OK because the 'play box' would be very expensive, trying to take on a unified sony/ms console in a new hd console war would be suicide

That is true... But it would be pretty limiting for nintendo and if MS and sony decided to make their console the all rounder... Nintendo would always have to keep ahead in immersive technology to keep themselves going which when you consider how big sony is in hardware, would be very difficult...

I still think there may be little competition from Nintendo. If you want to play your shooters, and more mature games you would go with Sony/MS. But if you wanted things more like Mario, you would go with Nintendo. These are two very different audiences.

It would really be EPIC. If Apple or Sega join the game industry then it might happen. If Nintendo runs away with this gen there's a possibility that Sony and MS would have to work together. It would be the ultimate console easily. You have Sony's magnificent hardware. MS's geniouses at software. MS could easily get studios to work with Sony and MS since MS is just rich. Sony would have already a great set of first party but if it does happen i'd expect MS to have a even better set of first party studios. It would benefit Sony's games a lot. WIth MS's power to really advertise games. I'd expect Halo and Killzone to get the same amount of media converage. Of course that's only if it happens.

Come on now don't let me get started , sincs the beginning of 2009 Sony had released Killzone 2 ( IGN 9.4) and MLB 09: The Show ( IGN 8.7) and Infamous ( IGN 9.2) while MS has released Halo Wars( IGN 8.4).

Hell yeah man we'd have Amazing studios working together like Naughty Dog Studio Santa Monica Bungie Guerrilla Games Epic Games Polyphony Digital Turn 10 Studios Lionhead Studios Rare Studios Insomniac Games Ruffian Games Realtime Worlds Mistwalker Media Molecule London Studio Studio San Diego Zipper Interactive Sucker Punch Team ICO ALL of these will be first party, awesome

Well, if 2 big companies like that teamed up, there would be room for another company to join in the race. Pretty sure you all know who that is.
