Is Apple interested in investing their own money to build studio and support third party? No?

Console spec is largely unimportant as long as they can push their product to enough people and create large enough audience,

They are not interested in pushing it that hard, and their sale is about as bad as Wii U as a console.

Apple could trounce Sony, Nintendo, and MS if they really wanted to. They sell a bazillion games on iOS without even trying. Don't poke the sleeping bear. 

Luckily for Sony/Nintendo/MS, Apple looks at the dedicated game business (and rightly so) as small potatoes. Apple shipped 47.5 million iPhones in the last quarter (that's 3 months). That means in three months they ship the same amount of iPhone hardware that the PS4 + XBox One + Wii U *combined* have taken several years to ship. 

If Apple really wanted to dominate this market, they likely could do so very quickly, their marketing and brand appeal is simply light years beyond the players in the current space and they would get a shit-ton of third party support overnight. It's just too far under their radar for them to care too much. 

U act like Apple is some unstoppable force that can dominate any and all markets they enter, if that were the case than Apple TV wouldn't have only sold 25 million over the course of 8 years. I believe Apple TV 4 will be a bigger success than previous generation models but let's not act like it's a guaranteed console killer.

U seem to have that mindset where things have to beat other things and that's not really how it works, multiple devices can easily coexist with one another.
