@goddog: Yeah, Pippin wasn't supposed to be a gaming platform. Still it was perceived as one. It even had a few games.
In any case, you are suggesting the way Pippin came into the market, to be used in the new console aswell.
@Acevil: Well, EA isn't going to hit hardware market either. If you look at their financials, you'll notice that they really can't afford one at the moment. Besides, EA has too much in stake, with their multi-billion franchises, in case of the console failing, their franchises would go down in value, meaning that their familiarity would suffer. Also, a number of their sports franchises are multiplatform because of license requirements, and the ones that aren't, would have a competition on rival platforms, losing their position even further. In any case, EA is successfull largely because of their multiplatform strategy, which gives them more power in the industry, than most people wants to think.
