Standards are good, but not until you get to the point where new things are not being made.
Intesterestingly, a standardation does not imply that the technology will not change/improve or progress. Take the movie camera as an example, it has improved greatly since the 1930s when the standardization occured.
If so where do we stop?
It will probably will probably never stop but I believe it will converge. This is the "perceptual threshold" I refer to.
Bottom line is basically, "Sega had the right idea and expect Nintendo to do the same."
Actually, I am not saying anything like this at all and I do not know what Sega was thinking nor I am recommending we do anything like they did.
In you comments you focus on MS's hardware which ironically is exactly the opposite of what I am trying to say. I am saying that as gaming technology evolves it will become less important.
In a nutshell I am saying in the future the hardware will not matter.
