Or if iPad 6 starts stealing market share from dedicated home consoles, while the iPhones/all smartphones destroys the handheld market completely.

Apple will do everything they can to increase their market, and they can do a lot with the resources that they have.

iPad 6 will be out in about 3 years time, and if smartphones start to destroy the handheld in 3 years time my prediction will still hold true: when gen 9 comes rolling we'll know how the future will look like in the coming two decades

I disagree. That is nothing but a foolish assumption.

The future will never look clear, and market-changes tend to go faster with time.

Yeah ok, "clear" perhaps was a bad choice of wording - but I think we'll see how things are gonna play out. We still won't be able to see who's gonna win the generation, who'll sell the most SW and such - but I think we'll see which kind of future console will be heading towards.
