Do they have the games to support a console as a first party? Yeah, I think they do, maybe a couple other third party publishers do as well. But they don't have the the financials to support it. It's not even the fact that it'd be a huge risk for them, but R&D would probably put them into debt (they have to hire a whole new massive hardware team before even starting the R&D itself), and supporting online infrastructure, and selling at a loss, and building currently non-existant relations with manufacturers, taking all their games off the current console market and making them exclusive, paying for a few more exclusives, and advertising all on their own...
The venture wouldn't be profitable in a million years.
