AMD could do it cheap, they already own the CPU+GPU which is a good chunk of the costs so it would cut the price down a lot.. Unfortunately I don't think AMD is that well known and I don't think they could afford the risk, R&D for the next gen of GPU and CPU takes almost everything they've got. To get great games requires great sales and great sales requires great games....The Wii did it with a Killer ap. Wii sports. It sold the system look at the attach rate in Japan. So it needs to be: *Powerful enough to be "ok" *Cheap enough for people to take a risk and buy *Have something that makes it different from what is there already but able to handle what already exists for easy ports. *Have a killer game that makes people want to buy it. *A known brand (it would help) *Good First party support *Amazing PR. *Big Budget.
"..just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake"
