But consoles as we know them are going away soon, I can't see what the PS5 will be able to do that devices the size of Ipods and phones can't. Maybe we'll have devices like consoles that act as a media hub for the home, but I think in 10 years streaming videos games could possibly become the norm, and we won't be arguing about which console has the best specs.

I could see portable and home consoles merging into one device.
Say if a handheld console (like PSVita 3 or DS Ultra) could morph into a home console controller and stream 1080P @ 60FPS wirelessly to another display. At the rate mobile tech is moving, I think it could be possible by about 2022.
This would still be a fixed hardware set as with all consoles (to reduce hardware price over time, and to offer lots of value to customers for a one time investment). But, it would be a game console with additional fuctions (weather you count that as dedicated or not is sort of subjective).
