Any company could ostensibly enter the market, assuming they had a disruptive enough product. Certainly few companies could compete in the brute-force manner that Sony and Microsoft rely on, but it didn't take much capital overall for Nintendo to get the Wii off the ground, and look at what it's done.

As for how likely it is, I'd say not very. At this point, you'd have to invent something even more intuitive, focused, and user-friendly than the Wii, and that's a tough order to fill. And to make it even more difficult, marketing divisions of companies tend to shoot down disruptive ideas as "never going to work". Which is terribly ironic since truly disruptive products have an obscenely high rate of success.

Eh eh it's not so easy. Nintendo had not only the balls ( cash in the bank to risk ) and the will to disrupt the market it also had the know-how to do it ( one of the strongest software deveopment in the planet and the best software-hardware integration in the entire industry )
