I already have ideas in my head, but I don't want to influence anyone else, one way or another. I'd like to hear what you all think first!
Get as crazy as you want. If you want to produce an open-world, Bethesda-developed Mario RPG, so be it!
Taking the genres of Sports, Action-Adventure, Action-RPG, Puzzle, Open-World RPG, MMORPG, First Person Shooter, Racing, Casual, etc, etc... Who would you place in what department to develop what games?

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileBethesda Zelda and a Nintendo TES.
Obviously I would like Nintendo to make a Sonic game. Epic helping Naught Dog get gunplay right in Uncharted.
I've always wanted a Zelda multiplayer game. So I'm thinking Naughty Dog can provide Nintendo the template for a multiplayer deathmatch game. Bows can be long guns, with different types of arrows: regular, flame or explosive. Slingshots provide short range weapons, with swords for close range combat. Bombs replace grenades and crossbows with an explosive bomb can replace RPGs. Link would have all the moves that Nate has: Climbing walls, taking cover, blindfire with bows and slingshots, hanging from ledges and firing, grabbing someone and pulling them off the ledge. You can even have boosters like collecting more rupees per kill, see enemies through walls (Eye of Truth). Perhaps magic spells, large shields, smoke bombs to escape. It's the good citizens of Hyrule Vs. the Ganonites battling it out across many exotic locales of Hyrule.
Of course there are other modes, Four Swords type co-op where each participant has special powers. One can lift stones and move them to pressure switches. One can fire magic to open portals. Treasure hunt becomes rupee hunt, etc.
If I had to choose ONE of the three major players to coordinate everything, I still don't know who I would pick... Sony has had too many bad decisions, industry embarassments and general fuck ups this generation. Microsoft still cannot capture a significant portion of the market outside of the US... forget about Japan. Nintendo... They are the ones I thought of initially, but they always seem to focus on one aspect so strictly, they let others go lacking.
Maybe another major Publisher or even Develoment studio?!

In my company, Microsoft would be in charge of development software tools and Online functionality. Nothing Sony nor Nintendo has done even comes close to the Online Perfection that is Xbox Live. Ease of Sociability and Stability that is unmatched. THAT is their forte! The concept of Gamertags, Achievement bragging rights and CONSOLE online-multiplayer ALL belong to Microsoft! In game chat, gameplay coordination and notification, Live Arcade (at least for non-Classic titles) all stand head and shoulders above everyone else! How's that Wii Speak workin' out for ya Nintendo? *shudder!*
Fuck Microsoft and their online. They make you pay to play. If one company should do online it would have to be Valve.
I am going to do something more realistic, somewhat.
Treasure should do the next Starfox
Retro should team up with Team Ninja to make Other M this time we do not fuck up version. Retro should hire David Wise and let him do all the music in Donkey Kong Country Returns 2. Aonuma and Koizumi (Mario Galaxy guy) should team up and make an new IP about ninjas (read the Iwata Ask about Ocarina of Time 3DS to see why)

Valve online is great unless you have a download limit. PSN updates have nothing on Valve online games FFS.
Let's imagine this is a perfect world. That there's no need for competition, money is no object and everyone worked for the greater good. Imagine the Console Wars have come to an end and all Developers and Publishers all decided to work as one. Who would run things? Who would design things? What studios would remain and which would be split up to work elsewhere? If you were in charge of it all, who would you put where and why? What would the name of your new console be? What would it focus on and what games would you make? Gimmicks or no? Just out of curiosity I would like to see what everyone here would imagine to be their perfect gaming world.
