[quote]One console is a nice dream, but the fact is that competition helps drive improvement and advancement.[/quote] I disagree. That statement is taken as fact for no other reason than because it has been drilled into us by society. Its particularly true in this circumstance...Sony and MS won't allow cross platform play specifically because they believe it will reduce their "competitive edge". How does this advance progress in the gaming industry? It doesn't... It limits growth. Greed trumps progress.
