Well, Apple probably can't make TV hardware in same sense as Sony can make it. Sony is almost completely vertically integrated when it comes to TVs and consumer electronics.
Why would Apple want to be making TVs, at least in the sense that TVs currently exist? The profit margins must be razor thin, because you're competing with a damn-near-indistinguishable product from LG and Samsung, and prices keep getting driven down every year.
The only way they'd do it is to make some sort of integrated TV/AppleTV thing. But I'm not sure that's really to their advantage versus just selling an AppleTV and letting folks plug it into their existing TVs.
