...They entered the cell phone market. You can go on about them "creating the smart phone market," but what they really did was revolutionize the cell phone market. Who's to say they couldn't do the same for consoles. If any company had the balls to try and sell a digital-only home console, it would be Apple. And all they'd have to do is make their iConsole absorb their Apple TV the same way the iPhone absorbed the iPod.
If they really could get good support from 3rd parties, I'd buy it.
This is a video on how Apple could go about entering the console market. While I think Apple would be more ambitious (like creating a real controller and building a console with usable RAM and all that jazz), it does help to visualize how this could work. I think they could pull it off.
