actually, that is imo THE WORST thing that can happen !
The videogame industry as it\'s now with the current way of
doing ; single unit console and single unit dvdrom disc > keep
the industry niche and innovative yet profitable. Imagine if a
company like Nintendo had to fit their Gamecube and software to the guidelines of av companies\' hifi sets, or Whirlpool\'s new microwave. Utter madness I\'d say.
So my point is, if things turn out like that ; integrating gaming into
household stuff (Cell concept anyone ? ) > on a big scale companies of \'other\' apparatuses than the original console makers will want their piece of the pie and their say into videogaming.
Gaming will become mainstream to an extent where compromises will be made which will only hurt it. So I say, thumbs up for Nintendo who wanna keep a console a console :thepimp:
