I think that sounds like a god awful idea...................

N64.

They could... But won't.

I say no because they need at least 1 billion dollar and they dont have that.

No. You must either think its really easy entering the console hardware market or you have no idea what it entails.

Just to launch new hardware will require BILLIONS of $$$ to begin with (just talking about manufacturing and marketing). And thats not even talking about the BILLIONS that will also go into R&D cause consoles aren't just PC parts strung together (those are steam boxes). And after all thats said and done, chances are you won't even be profitable in your first generation on the market. Yet still invest all those BILLIONs to do it again.

The only companies in the world that I can see successfully making a new console if they are ready to take on that market, is apple (cause they have a dedicated loyal following that will buy their product simply cause its an apple product) and Samsung (cause they have a manufacturing might that not even Sony can rival now. Samsung could make a console and make their own AMD processors for it and just pay for an AMD license and make their own GDDR5 ram; which means that they can ultimately make a console stronger and cheaper than what anyone else can make).

At the end of the day though, with sony and MS already in the console space, whenever any of those companies think about this, they probably end up going "why spend upwards of a $10bl investment to tentatively launch a new console when we can spend $1bl buying or assembling 5 studios and make games for the already existing studios and if 3 of those studios are really successful then we make $10bl in profits."

they would delay it 3 or 4 years.

Only insofar as they are a 3rd party publisher. If they made a console they would be no more competition with EA, Acti and 2K than Sony, Nintendo and MS are now. All their franchises would go exclusive clearing the multiplat field for the remaining 3rd parties.

But I don't think they should or will. They only have Ass Creed as a really successful franchise and there aren't enough huge fans of that franchise to be the base on which a console in built.

Actually, they are nearly twice as big as Nintendo.

But I agree with the gist of your point.  Ubisoft would fail with their own console.

And then proceed to release a new one every year without fixing the faults and flaws from the previous ones.

I dont think Ubisoft is a big enough company to be able to fund the R&D for a console, and all of the ongoing maintenance costs.

I would just be the Assassins creed machine if they did.
