They should work on making the games first. Not nearly as much holding them back from making well optimized and well thought out games. They can probably get by getting gaming hardware from China while they work on theirs. And you can still make a good game that runs on a potato. Some reason modern developers have just forgotten how.

This is an interesting idea that could spur on more open architectures and Chip designs.and give us options beyond the wintel, Xbox, sony, nintendo hegemony.

Jean Louis Gassee created BeOS hobbit hardware at half the cost of a 1993 Intel 486 because he used multiple chips. Intel finally created multi core CPUs in the 2000s.

Riscv is getting there. I can buy a 64 core riscv desktop for 2000$ from China.

android-like OS , HarmonyOS? and ARM chips. essentially low cost android console looks the only viable option: Hardware locked so developers can have a target performance, as others said, ecosystem is the key and the hardest part.
