>"Nothing stopping you from creating your own" is quite a trivialization of how difficult it actually is to break into the, rather entrenched, video game console market. No, "nothing stopping you from selling your own" would be a trivialization (because there are things). It's easy enough (~20 hours of effort, including research) to build a computer, install Linux, and start playing DRM free games. If you want to distribute it, that's another story.
