It's not about PC gaming though, more like the consoles. Apple can absolutely disrupt the market of Sony and MS (not so much of Nintendo). The MSRP of PS5 and Xbox are $399/$499, if Apple can target this segment they would have a field day. The Apple TV already exist and maybe not now but 1-2-3 years down the line they can fit the next generation M1 Ultra there.

BUT you need a very strong game back catalog (see the PS exclusive games and the GamePass on Xbox which is a killer deal). I'm not sure Apple is willing to go that far, just by judging their Apple TV exclusive line up for example compared to Netflix and Amazon. To me it seems they rather have the iOS games on the Mac than have actual AAA games on the Mac. But that might change in the future, who knows.

In the end it's all wishful thinking (or not) but I'm pretty sure competition is only good for the consumer market.

Target it with what? A controller from Apple would run $399-$499 and it would be sold separately.
