Case and point; professional wrestling. Back in the late 90's wrestling was more popular than Jesus., there were 3 major companies competing for viewers and they all put out good broadcasts as a result. But in 2001 the WWF (now known as WWE) bought both WCW and ECW and merged the top 3 companies into one supercompany. Now professional wrestling is the butt of everyone's jokes in the entertainment industry because it lost popularity after WWE realized that they no longer had to compete for viewers and ended up getting lazy in their production values.
If the 3 major consoles merged the same thing would eventually happen. They would experience a big boost at the beginning but eventually Ninsonysoft would start putting out lower quality consoles or possibly stop putting out consoles altogether because they would have no one to compete with.
Competition is essesntial in any industry because it forces companies to constantly create better products.
