The Big Question: A One Console Future

Today it was announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider was now exclusive to the Xbox One. Many jimmies were rustled, but it got me thinking: how many of you would be in support of a one console future?

Because when you look at it objectively, it is sort of hilarious that certain pieces of software are exclusive to one console. This doesn’t happen with music, it doesn’t happen with movies. Closest thing to it was VHS/Betamax and Blu-ray/HD-DVD but generally that’s just a format arms race that’s eventually destined to end at some point.

With consoles, this has been happening for bloody decades. Decades. I wonder why this has happened. I wonder why video games are so unique in this regard.

Anyway, my question is this: would you be in support of a one console future?
