One Console Under All?

EA recently published a report saying that in the future there will only be one console. This, to some, would decrease costs spent on extra consoles drastically. Well, I have something to say about that. For one, the price of that standalone would be huge. That and we would lose all of our innovation. What did we get from competition? We got the Wii, which is by-far the most innovative piece of gaming machinery available. As far as I'm concerned, I hope there isn't a standalone console. However, we'll just have to give this mind-boggling question a couple of years, and maybe, just maybe, at E3 2010, we could see some light on this topic.

Game of the Year?
As you may know, this year there are tons of great titles coming out for each of the three new consoles, I mean the PS3 has Uncharted and R & C 5, the 360 has Mass Effect and Ace Combat 6, and the Wii has games like Mario Galaxy, Brawl, and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. However, when looking at these titles, you have to wonder, which will climb victorious and be the best game of the year? Sure there are millions of different ones, but one will probably get more than the others. At the end of this year I'll probably say Brawl is the best, but that's just because I've been waiting six years and it just looks really really good. But there are tons of other games going for that prize. So which will it be? Of course we're going to ahve to wait until we can really have a definitive answer, but I think Halo 3 is so far really reigning supreme. We've had Heavenly Sword, Bioshock, Warioware, Phantom Hourglass, Burning Crusades, Forza 2, Skate, and World in Conflict, all of which are great games. And really the games that I see really sticking out as some of the greater competition later this year is Guitar Hero 3, Ratchet and Clank 5, Kane and Lynchead Men, Super Mario Galaxy, Brawl, Conan, Ace Combat 6, TimeShift, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, just to name a few!!! Here's my order of top five most likely games to win Game of the Year the most:
1. Mass Effect
2. Super Mario Galaxy
3. Assassin's Creed
4. Halo 3
5. Call of Duty 4
There are several other games to list, but that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. Unless Mass Effect bombs.
