And companies like EA and Activision would avoid it like the plague. Ubisoft is a major rival for them, and this would be their chance to watch the ship crash and burn. 


Everything else you said makes sense but I'm not so sure about this. If Ubisoft were a console maker then they would no longer be rivals to EA and Activision and to release games on their console would be mutually beneficial. EA, Activision, Ubisoft don't presently see Microsoft or Sony as rivals do they?

True, I considered that, but Ubisoft would still be challenging them for overall sales, even as a first-party dev. By preventing their console from ever taking off, they would crush Ubisoft in a way that may prevent them from competing in the videogame market, period. Thus the hole left behind by Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, etc. could be filled in by them.
