As I somewhat said in another thread, I would like to see a bunch of publishers and developers collaborate and create the console they're looking for instead of just trying to work with the Big Three. It'll be quite the middle finger to them, and at this point it's what's needed to make them realize just how in the dark console developers are, as they are unable and seemingly un to talk with game publishers, developers, and even gamers that are outside the circle about what is wanted to be seen and not in the next console generation, as such an action seems to be considered "too much of a risk of breaking confidentiality" in this day and age.
In other words, the greatest threat to the consoles isn't control - It's the lack of will to gather proper input from other people, fearing that it would lead to leaks and outrage.
