I would prefer to see consoles cease to exist in multiple proprietary formats and take an approach similar to the PC market, in which there's (for the most part) a single, open-end system which can be customized to your heart's extent.
I really don't have any patience anymore for having to own three separate machines to play five different games. Let's conform to a single system and let anyone manufacture hardware. Design it so that it can be upgraded incrementally. Let's eliminate the horse shit of proprietary hardware (and the hundreds of dollars involved in supplementing proprietary hardware with proprietary peripherals). There's no technological impediment forcing the current system to exist as it does. It's exclusionary business practices, and it not only retards development to an awful degree, but it costs gamers a lot more money than it should.
