That's why I said "Only problem is there were other consoles with 3D coming out that it would have to compete against.".
But the 3DO
didn't take off, because it was too expensive and didn't have enough backers.
3DO

Citing a lack of decent exclusives and an "astronomical asking price"... video game website IGN chose the 3DO as its 22nd greatest video game console of all time, slightly higher than the Atari Jaguar but lower than its four other major competitors: the SNES (4th best), the Sega Genesis (5th), the PlayStation (7th), and the Sega Saturn (18th). On Yahoo! Games the 3DO was placed among the top five worst console launches due to its one-game launch lineup and high launch price

Even without being compared to the PlayStation, the 3DO wasn't that great.
Commodore, had they survived, could have built on their success with the CD32 by putting Hombre (or something like it) in the next model. Another possibility might be an upgrade for the CD32 via the FMV slot.
