I'm curious now. in this respect, by barrier to entry, do you mean by other companies creating consoles? I thought that a monopoly was the control of a single person or entity of a market. As two superior consoles (and I say this because I'm of the opinion that they would out-perform the Wii), if one acquired the other and was rendered obsolete, wouldn't that monopolise the gaming market? For instance, as a game developer, my game will require certain hardware specifications to run correctly. Is my understanding incorrect?
