but I can't say I believe in it.(don't take this as and counter-point or anything)
Competition, you mention in your second last paragraph, is exactly why. I just don't see how Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft (or other corporations to come) would withdraw from this profitable market (unless they were in the red or something). Nothing drives innovation like competition.
Socialism is great on paper but in real life works for a while and then loses steam. So an uber platform would work great in principle, but all it takes is some heavy handed complacency that comes across as dictatorship and some one will want to do it better.
I too am thinking that graphics are pretty soon aproaching their plateau, but factors such as how interactive, how open ended, physics, interfaces, ergonomics and "game play, artificial intelligence, story telling, online functionality" will (are) all become(ing) more important. As the the saying goes, "jack of all trades, master of none". no one machine would be able to excell in all the above for a reasonable amount of money in the near future. in additition, were it truely the only machine, the hardware market is monopolized, so why even strive for excellence?
the factors mentioned above are important to the different genres too. Depending on the audience and exprience the devs want to create justifies choice of more than one console.
hope that was somewhat cohesive
