If two of the three console makers (Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony) were going to work together to release a next generation console, which two companies would you prefer to see do so? And what do you think the console should be called?

sony and MS...they pretty much work off the same plans anyway. let sony deal with the hardware (but have MS make sure sony behave and take on dev input) and let MS deal with the OS and services. both companies playing to their strengths. i think if ninty were to try and work with either of them....there would basically be war between them. ninty would want X,y and Z and MS/Sony would call that daft and would insist on other things...which ninty would then call nonsense. itd be a bit like the dreamcast development...a complete mess.

Im torn between SONY and MS and MS and Nintendo. In both regards, MS would handle the online while SONY and Nintendo would handle the games and console making.

Yep, MS would be the money and the online, and PS3 will be the console building and the games part.

to bad all 3 already are working together... 5 years into this gen and the cheapest system is still 200 bucks. nintendo or ms not slashing their systems price to kill off the ps3 is a dead giveaway that they all work together

sony built a console thats pretty much on par with 360 performance wise and costs what, like 2-3x as much to manufacture....? how people can think sony is good at building consoles is beyond me.

Sony does seem to be better at creating new IPs tho.

sony sucks at building systems, none of my ps systems have lasted 5 years, ps1 the lid came off, ps2 wouldnt play dvds all the way threw. which was a big deal to me since it was my bedroom dvd player, my ps3 got ylod a little over 2 years old. nintendo knows how to build systems to last... ms is 1-1 my xbox 1 still plays perfect and my 360 got E74

Nintendo + Sony would be unbeatable. You got all the Nintendo power combined with the sheer badassery of Sony's first party devs = unbeatable.

Sony and Nintendo. After all it was going to be that before Nintendo messed up with Phillips. Can you imagine if the Nintendo Playstation happened instead of the Phillips CD-i?

with that said I don't think it'll happen.

Nintendo buying Sega as a First Party? Would that be a Good thing or a Bad thing?

A good thing in the old days,a really bad thing these days. Sega today is only Sega by name.

Sony and Nintendo, Nintendo and Sony are very creative (Nintendo has Mario and all those innovative Wii mini-games while sony has games like Little Big Planet and some of the Move software). Sony excels in making hardware and being creative while Nintendo excels in innovation and also being very creative and breathing new life into new franchises.

Sega owns really cool IPs like shenmue and Panzer Dragoon, maybe nintendo can make them work again?
