God no, the net result would be Sony fucking up the 360.
You do also realise the lack of competition would mean all consoles would be £600 too right?
In my dream world Nintendo carry on as is, and PS3/360 becomes a standard device like a DVD player that anyone can manufacture.
Let me dream.
I'm not even sure why you own a 360 as you seem to hate it so much...
What?! Am I really coming across like I hate it?
Looking back I did say:

I fucking hate the PS3/360. I can (just about) understand the Wii being a different console. But two companies can't release 99% identical consoles with 99% identical line ups. Just give up, and join together please.
But what I meant was that I hate the PS3/360 pissing contest, when they are pretty much the same console.
But I love the 360, It's pushing the Wii to be the best console I've ever owned. Not for standout games so much as a constant stream of games I would rate a 'B' which is unprecidented and I love it for it. That and the XBLA is tremendous. Oh and the controller surpasses the Wavebird as the best non-waggle controller ever (Bar the dpad of course, but Nintendo's patents could be the reason for that). That and it's got Mirror's Edge which is the first game to
really excite me in a long, long time.
I just don't pretend it's perfect. It's a brilliant catalogue of games played by a loud, jet engine of a machine which has broken on about a 1/3 of the people here. That's a fucking disgrace.
That and I hate the blades system, it's geeky and shit (I like the look of the new one though). I have to pay for online and despite that it's got adverts on most pages.
Still, if you think that I hate it, at least I'm not coming over like a fanboy. Like I was in the amiga days (IT'S NOT DYING GLOOM WILL BE AWESOME!).
