I don't imagine PS5 or XB4 will be a hybrid console due to their current brand trajectories.
And a second line product would be weakly supported and not provide much competition anyway.
Also, why do people bring up game streaming, remote play, wireless display connect, dockable phones, etc.? All that stuff has been around for years and it hasn't amounted to much of anything.
People don't seem to realize that there has to be a synergy of desirable hardware, desirable software, and desirable marketing for a product to really take off.
The question is, who would bring a new platform with all 3 of those things?
Just farting out another gadget without proper support doesn't do squat nowadays, especially when we are just suggesting refinement of existing tech.
There will probably be Chinese Nintendo Switch clones running Android or Windows, but nothing that would make any impact as competing true substitute goods.
It would be more interesting if someone invented something new, like a portable device with a volumetric display or hologram projector, or a tablet with dual trackballs on the front and a full QWERTY keyboard on the back, or... something else that is different.
