I could see the Apple VR thing becoming a (really) premium gaming device for people who have a lot of money to drop, but that's obviously VR gaming, not standard vanilla TV console.

Apple AAA gaming console

If it sold for 700, that means it would be valued at around 200, which means it would most likely be underwhelming. No thanks.
Apple is one of the worst companies. They innovate by finding ways to be even less customer friendly while convincing their fanatics they are great. Things I hate, no SD slots, proprietary charger that has special tech in it and in the phone that can and does fail just so they can charge more for fucking cables, and the fact that iPhones integrate so poorly with outlook that in 2018 I could not cancel a meeting when my wife went into labor, nor could I simply reply to all invitees to let them know. Shit company, shit products, shit software, just shit. Their controller would probably only have 1 button, would include yet another ridiculous charging cable and you'd have to jailbreak the console if you wanted to do anything on it that wasn't part of a revenue stream directly to Apple.
Nope.
We have already enough home consoles in the market + their already exsisting devices running games through apple store is more than enough for them and the market itself.
They are selling iPhones and iPads already like hot cakes, why they need to create a dictated gaming device?

If it had a stellar launch lineup, yes I'd buy it. I already like Apple hardware a lot. They've done very little to prove to me at this point that they have an interest in becoming a place where my gaming tastes would be satisfied -- Arcade is a good value but it is also largely limited to a particular range of gaming experiences that aren't necessarily up my personal alley.
But, if we're supposing against all odds that they do in fact bring together a solid launch lineup (however vague that descriptor is), I'm there to try it out.

The Switch level Apple TV that focuses on games is not gonna cost no $700. It will be like $200 and I'll cop for that price.
The only thing Apple makes that I like is macOS (posting this comment from a MacBook Pro). I find the rest of their software, services, and products to range from meh to terrible, so I can't see myself ever buying a console they make.
I'll buy whatever has great (exclusive) games, period. I'm not missing out from my hobby's best titles because it's paywalled behind a new system.
in terms of the players in the cloud space #1 is Amazon and #2 is Microsoft and the rest are divided and sony cloud is small and not adaptable to their needs both Amazon and Microsoft do IAAS and PAAS and public and private and hybrid clouds which only companies who have sunked billions of dollars in the space has achieved so unless Sony has billions of dollars to waste they are better off buying from Microsoft or Amazon.
I'd be curious to know what they would be offering that isn't already covered by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Maybe if they did something like buy Sega? Who knows. Anyway, I'm not excited about the idea, but would stop short of saying it's an outright bad thing.
