There are quite a few things we can say for certain about this gen, but the question of the next Playstation or Xbox is definitely not one of them. Nintendo will most definitely keep making gaming consoles because that's all they do these days, but Sony and Microsoft are huge corporations that do a lot of other stuff.
If the lowest possible sales prediction comes to pass and the companies are in trouble with their other divisions, the boards of suits might find it prudent not to take the risk of investing craploads of money on another console.
Now I only imagine one of the companies dropping out if their console fails badly, and all their other sources of cash take a deep dive at the same time. I have absolutely no idea how the many divisions of Sony and Microsoft are doing, so I'll just call it possible, but not likely.
Remember, Sega only stuck along so long because they're a gaming company, and they couldn't just sell their franchises and go back to operating systems or stereos or whatever.
