Here's my game column that ran over the weekend in The Dallas Morning News. In it, I demand that the hardware companies get together and come up with a single hardware platform, rather than three competing and incompatible consoles.

I'm sure it's just around the corner...

Kidding aside, though, I do think it's odd that we gamers have come to tolerate a system that would cripple any other consumer technology. Frankly, I'm stunned that gaming is as mainstream as it is, considering how cumbersome it is to have to choose between three different gaming platforms.
