However they all resleased the CD-I which was a huge faliure.. People call the CD-i a failure in retrospect. However, the system was released in late 1991 and not discontinued until 1998. Even if sales were terrible, the system obviously was obviously worth supporting for over half a decade. Not to mention it had a bunch of models, received new games into the 2000's, and a total of over 150 games.

If they could create and acquire some actual studios, they'd likely be able to create a console that could find a niche in the market. It'd just be a matter of whether they'd want to do so.
