If Wal-Mart did a system it would be along the lines of one those "plug-n-play" controllers. A full stand alone console format would not fit their business model of low prices. There would be too much cost involved with development because they would have to out source almost everything.

MAYBE you might see something like the Atari 2600 / Sears Tele-games systems, which were virtually interchangeable. Where Wal-Mart has a custom outer shell with the guts of a PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube inside it.

But with hardware cycles rotating every five/six years it still wouldn't be a logical business step for them. Because they would have turn around and dump more money into development or licensing.

Let's face it $ony, Micro$oft, and Nintendough are in it for the money. Either they get it by selling their product to stores or they will by licensing it out. Personally I feel they would rather not go the licensing route either.

And as far as censoring games. Wal-Mart does not have the games censored in any way. Generally, with games if they don't like the content they will not sell it.

With music the record companies provide the edited versions so that Wal-Mart will sell it.

Anyways, just my humble opinion.
