Could Gen 7 be the first gen ever to have no new companys?

Your probably right. I'm calling 3 straight gens of the big 3. No new ones next gen. No EA or Apple console yet.

 

Apple already tried to dip into the console fight many generations back, and it failed miserably... the "Pippin", and it barely sold more than 40,000 total units

But I think the next generation will only have the current 3 again... although I am not completely convinced that all 3 will return (I'm only mostly sure).
