I can't see Google ever succeeding in a console war. Google is casual as heck, and casual gaming isn't a predominant buying force on any home console. Casual gaming has moved to the smartphone, a system where Google is already firmly planted.
I can only see this as a way to woo developers and not consumers. Android developers make significantly less profits than iOS developers and if they want to stay relevant they need to boost 3rd party sales. Unfortunately that problem lies within Android's open philosophy itself and no amount of new hardware will win Google's real war: the smartphone.
