No, probably not. Console games average price is $50 USD, what is an average tablet app cost -- $3.99? Even if they were selling millions of first party apps, it wouldn't recoup the amount of money they lost on the tablet + app development.

Also if they can't directly monetize their hardware, this might be a strategy that Amazon (or Google if they ever make an in-house tablet) should look at since they both have large web platforms to extract life-time value of hardware owners.
