     IMO I believe it will be better for the consumer and actually allow for more solid competition were 2 companies take different approaches to gaming and have their own unique titles for the most part. Like in the days of Genesis versus SNES concerning franchises, each had their genre classics and unique mascots. (Curse Capcom for the Street Fighter sellout)

Also Systems wars would probably be more heated and the battle lines would be clearly drawn. Apparently many devs seem to think of the PS3 and 360 as interchangable.  What do you think?

Have it your way, the Wii isn't considered to be competing anyway.

it's too easy for one person to be victor in a 2-console race. all they have to do is be better than the other. in a 3-console race, each one is trying to outdo 2 other companies. each thinking of different, unique ways to outdo each other. do you think we'd have anything as innovative as the wii if Nintendo wasn't trying to stay in the game with two other juggernauts? or as uniform as XBL?

3 console seems to force companies to try to do things differently rather they just trying to just do the same thing.

The more the better.  I remember the buzz when 3D0, Atari Jaguar, NeoGeo CDZ, N64, PS, and Saturn where all duking it out.  Even though I couldn't afford some of the systems back then, it was fun as hell to dream about which ones I wanted and what games to get.  Back then, you really had to consider before investing, and cross platform game reviews could break or make a console.  I kind of wish Sega and NeoGeo were back in the game.  Also, bring back the handheld war.  Hope fully GP2X picks up so that PSP and DS aren't the only major choices out there.

IMO, the way this gen console race has been going, 2 companies are battling over the same ground and 1 stands apart from those two. The 360 and PS3 are or will become interchangable with all of the franchise trading. Graphically they seem to be equal (PS3 is supposed to be slightly more powerful). They are sharing the same fanbase, it's just messy.

We need at least 5 consoles. More variety and more competition = better games and cheaper consoles.

I would think so. The majority of the games are multiplatform and the companies that make them would still make them even if they had one less system to chose from.
