Just think about how it would affect the industry if Electronic Arts were to make their own console and also sell their software exclusively for it. Who would buy it and then how would it change the gaming landscape in regards to hardware and software sales?
I would not have any need for an EA console but I think some people wouldn't think twice about buying one. I think it would have a positive impact on gaming as a whole if not simply to have another hardware manufacturer on the market.
