Console manufacturers have done this in the past, and it’s never been a success.

The Panasonic Q

The Amstrad MegaPC

As consoles tend to be sold at a loss (or with very tight profit margins), with the main income coming from licensing on the games, 3rd party consoles just can’t be priced competitively to the 1st party ones, as the 3rd parties don’t see any of the licensing fees from the games.

Funny how this reminds me of PC gaming.
