Well, the 3DO did have some handicaps.
1) It launched at $699.95! 700 bucks! And that was more than $700 today, because of the state of the economy!
2) No first party developers, and so it had to rely on third parties.
3) The market has expanded significantly since its launch back in the SNES days.
I think that if this approach was to be revisited, it could be made to work, but not without a good launch price, and it would certainly be a big boost to have one of the big three with it to add some high quality games to its library.
