That would completely destroy the gaming console market.

Nintendo would largely be fine. Sony and Microsoft however would be forced into anti-consumer practices like putting advertising everywhere and selling your data. Not to mention a complete consolidation of the studios where most games would be made by Sony Studios and only sold on the Sony app store.

Ever used Xbox Live on the Xbox you paid for and seen ads? We're already there.

Well it would go to a whole new level if you want to take away their only revenue source.

Microsoft may even just decide not to build consoles at all.

Sounds good to me. Let somebody who wants to play ball fairly build the consoles.
