In keeping with Apple tradition I can see the outcome being:
- Console built out of a single piece of aluminum
- Lower spec than the WiiU
- Higher price than all three current gen consoles combined.

- Largest marketplace with the most desired software and applications

For mobile games.  If home console gamers wanted a bunch of iOS games, all the home console store fronts would be flooded with them.

Not everybody wants to play thousands of Match 3 based games on their big TV at home.

Because that's the only type of game on mobile? Minecraft: Pocket Edition has over 30 million downloads and that's not even a free game, it's $6.99. Other successful paid games are Grand Theft Auto III/Vice City/San Andreas, Monument Valley, Modern Combat series, Five Nights at Freddy's series, The Room, Terraria, Amazing Spider Man, Dark Knight Rises, etc. It's not just free to play time wasters that have success on mobile.

1. Those are tiny figures compared to the sales volume of Match 3 style games out there. 

2. You listed 3 ports of console games that are over a decade old.  That's not going to comepte against a modern console with modern games.  Do you really think a large number of people want to buy a whole new console to play 10 year old ports on their big screen TV?

3. Show me 1 real paid game that has come even remotedly close to the free to play and cheap $0..99 cent time wasters.   1.

1. No shit free games are downloaded more than paid games, they're free.

2. I never said people would buy a new console for the sole purpose of playing 10 year old ports, I was simply showing u that paid, hardcore titles can be successful on mobile devices. If a 10 year old port can sell a few million, how well would a new, original title in that series sell?

3. Again they're free, of course they will be downloaded more often, it's an unfair comparison and that has nothing to do with what your original post.
