    Why would they bother focusing on consoles at all?

    They would be way more successful investing in game developers.

      The Switch mostly lives on the talent and creativity of Nintendo devs. Russia seems to be lacking in the quantity and quality in that regard as well.

      Honestly, I would expect Russia to shoot more for PC gaming, rather than console gaming. But that would almost certainly require using home-grown or Chinese semiconductors. I’m not sure there are too many homegrown Russian semiconductor fabs, and Chinese chips aren’t known for their high performance like Taiwanese (TSMC, and by extension nVidia, AMD) and American chips (Intel) are.
