"With no competition" is impossible.

If Microsoft and Nintendo leave the market (and it won't happen), then you can be sure Apple, Google, Samsung or even Facebook will launch their own video game divisions. Too much money to make, nobody would just look at Sony taking all this market.


There is not that much money in that (for now?), thus the last company that entered the home console market was Microsoft... 13 years ago.


There isn't room for more than 3 main companies on the consoles market (and even 3 is maybe too much...), but you will always have some other companies ready to go if one of the 3 fails (Sega failed, Microsoft arrived...). There isn't a lot of money to make if you fail, but look at the Wii or even the PS4 for now. Playstation is one of the only profitable divisions of Sony.... 

Google, Facebook, Apple, Samsung, maybe Amazon would all benefit from a gaming device (increased software use or increased sales of other devices), I'm sure some of them are thinking about it. The market is full right now, but if Xbox or Nintendo fail...
