Fair point. Your idea might work equally well. A strong game studio working together with all browser vendors to develop an incredibly sophisticated console quality game. Some thoughts:

it will take considerably longer to implement due to discussion and implementation with multiple vendors, => thus larger on budgetmight be interesting if each browser vendor contributes one strong dev to actively work on the gameAs the game will be cutting edge, it will not be available for a large mainstream audience at launch, so there has to be other incentives for the participating game studio
All in all: Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla and Opera each send one dev, game studio contributes 4 other devs + art/design/management. Strong focus on cutting edge features, browser vendors commit to help with experimental features and builds. Must work
 together to deliver a console-quality game and the right specs for others to deliver the same games in the near future.



This could be fun :)

That's actually quite a cool idea, although I think it would be even cooler if the browser vendors all got together with a game studio to make an awesome game without the focus on HTML5 PR. The only issue with everyone
 going alone is that it will just come down to who has the biggest budget.



I'm really keen on getting the browsers all working together on a consistent approach to games and at least the communication surrounding it.

Inspired by it, I've been thinking that there should be a race for browser vendors on games to understand real world problems – every browser vendor needs to pick a game studio to work with and then produce the best game with their own browser features
 until the end of the year (or some date). The audience decides the winner in the end, and as a side effect, each browser will have matured along and the world has a couple great games. Ha!
