NO! I don't want a hardware company making a console.
Get a GAMING company to do it.
#1 Their games are forced be amongst higher amount of quality *See SEGA*
#2 They release more games of companies they already own so we aren't loosing exclusives but gaining them
#3 They already have a fanbase
Square-Enix talked about releasing some hardware a while back.
But personally I'd love to see a Konami console.
Imagine Konami making dozens of games a year with Capcom and SEGA as strong third parties. :)

Sounds like a great idea. With any decision, I favor multiple choices. Let's just hope they do their homework, learn from the mistakes of others so that they do not become another Turbografx-16/TurboDuo. Do not specialize or capitalize any one genre. Nintendo, Sony, Sega, and the PC have all stayed through the years because their game libraries possessed great diversity. The ones that failed, however, decided to specialize on specific genres. Case in point -- NEO-GEO focused on 2D fighting games, and the Turbografx-16/TurboDuo put all their eggs into the shooter basket. Take care not to rush products, nor fail to garner hefty third-party support. Case in point -- Sega's SegaCD and 32X add-on. But HOW can anyone top Nintendo's new controller scheme? I'm sure the company has taken care to obtain a crapload of patents with regard to it. That alone would be hard to beat.
