It would have a built in software library, drive the cost of old consoles either up or down, and be nothing but total profit! All these systems use cartridges...why not have 2 cartridge slots, one for Gameboy/GBA, the other for the other systems that would be able to adjust it's size and (the thing that reads) whenever a different type of cartridge is in there? Add 4 controller slots, some snazzy cover designs (retro, SNES, or 64ish), and have it all come up via AV cables?
I know I'd buy one!

Somehow, I don't think an adjustable cartrage slot would work, but the rest of the concept is a good idea. Ironically my um... uninformed friends... when I first heard of the play station they told me it was a super system that could play any cartridge game ever made, and that Gameboy games could be inserted into it's controller.
