Thankfully none of the current gen systems cost that much :P
Also 4 of those 5 listed systems are still getting new games, pretty much as frequently as the Wii U lol. I'm sure the PS4 will still be thriving at the NX home console arrival just as PS3/360 was at the Wii U's, so same will apply then.

Considering OP asked for a "mega powerful" console, I assumed he meant more powerful than the Xbox One was relative to 2013, which would mean more expensive than the Xbox One was in 2013, which I interpreted as $500+. If it was much less than that, it wouldn't really justify the annual payment plan. People have already shown that they are more than willing to spend $400 on a new console.
PS3 got a few games recently and has a few more coming, but NX isn't out yet and won't be for at least a year and a half, more likely two and a half years. I consider your suggestion that anyone who doesn't want to spend $400 or more on a new console should just buy a ten-year-old console instead as belittling as Don Mattrick's infamous "we have a product for people who don't want an always-online device, it's called Xbox 360" blunder.
It's especially unhelpful to a long-time Nintendo fan. Just buy a Wii or a 3DS instead? I already have those. I bought them for $250 and $160, respectively, and I have no interest in paying double or triple that amount for a game console, whether all at once or spread out over several years.
