Don't think Apple is the right company for a gaming system. Their normal way (high price, nice features and design) doesn't work that well here.
I think AMD or Intel is more likley. Both have experience in such hardware and can produce it themselves, or produce them for others right know. All they need is to buy some studios for decent first party development.
