In the perspective of videogaming though, what can Apple really do to make them stand out? Nintendo are winning the generation for obvious reasons. Out of the Powerhouse Consoles as I like to call em, the 360 to many would seem more attractive for it's brilliant online capabilities and gamerpoints. The PS3 is definitely attractive as a multimedia hub (not so much a gaming console if you ask me but I digress...).
If Apple did enter the console market, I'd see them trying to take Sony's route and putting the emphasis on multimedia rather than gaming itself. I don't see Apple supporting Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, and MS seem to be subtly pushing digital content forward on 360 so again I ask: What could Apple really do to make them stand out if they did enter the console industry?
Like I said before, Apple can expand all they want, but I think this is one area they'd fall short very quickly.
