Think about it. Wouldn't it just be absolutely incredible?

No PS4.
No Xbox One.
No Wii U.

Of course handhelds (3DS) would still remain because they cater to a completely different audience (mostly).

But imagine EVERY game coming out now just catering to the PC. Not only would all of your favorite games be coming on the same system, games would be optimized to incredible levels because:

1.) No console consideration to crap on the quality of the game.
2.) No ports, just a game made purely for the intent to play it on the PC.

Smash Bros? Scalebound? Bloodborne? All coming and you don't have to worry about spending hundreds of dollars on unnecessary downgrades to your PC.

Furthermore,

1.) Not all gaming PCs cost $2000. I'm sure most of you know this, but you can build a competent gaming PC for $600-700 no sweat.

2.) Steam Boxes. They would alleviate casual console player concerns by creating console "replacements" but it would all be on the same platform. Perhaps instead of Sony, Xbox and Nintendo competing and splitting the game library, it would be Uplay, Origin, and Steam competing, but all the games would be playable on either.

I long for a world so glorious.
