SEGA has the games. It has the library. But does it have the money and guts for a new console?

It could happen, but they might be better off establishing a different niche than directly entering the domains that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft currently occupy.

You've got machines like the Blaze Evercade and Intellivision Amico, which are focusing on retro and/or "family friendly" games. You've also got streaming services like Google's Stadia and Amazon's Luna, which are giving you console-style gaming on a variety of devices. Any of these could become a breakout hit if they can combine all of the necessary ingredients: low price of entry, affordable and appealing games, ease of use, and good marketing and advertising.

what does PC have to do with consoles?

You can hook it up to a TV, use the same controllers and plays most of the same games plus others. ... Yeah not remotely related.

Too late. The ecosystems is already built by Xbox and PlayStation. If a new player were to appear the best chance would be during the ps2 era. With online and digital gaming people probably don’t want to start from scratch. A long time ps owner jumping to Xbox or vice versa would be tough. A new player? Pass

Nintendo and Sony have the experience edge over the last four generations there’s been ideas kicked around (N-Gage, OnLive etc.) most 4th, 5th options can’t convert into success.

Nintendo Switch needs some form of competition. This new thing with Apple might be just what we need to force Nintendo into an uncomfortable enough position to fuel some higher quality innovation.

I know people initial response to apple jumping into the portable market is from lukewarm to cold on this forum, but I see it as competition and something that will just make Nintendo better.

Apple would need some serious exclusives and if it still plays games you can play on your iPhone then its dead on arrival. Apple would be better off to produce a console like experience with there portable devices then come with a separate gaming console that’s close to switch. I honestly think if Nintendo sensed Apple had a competitive product they would be petty enough to take Mario Run, Firre Emblem etc off the IOS store.

People still pretend a PC in the living room is impossible for some reason. It's weird.
