More expensive AND less powerful, the way the ONE is. That is the question.  And it would also have to fit into the life of the console, start from day one.  Companies don't slash prices of their systems if they are outselling their competitors.  So the case is to find an example of some console that was less powerful and more expensive, winning the sales war at the higher price point.

Again: What powerfull means? 

I won´t bring the smartphone analogy again. 

The PS3 had for years shitty multplat games. And even the first batche of exclusive games were lackluster. Well, Uncharted 1 was buggy as hell and serius frame, pop-up performance issues.

This is the power people SEE not power people BELIVE.

One the otehr hand the PS3 has more expensive but had a hard drive and a BluRay driver. That was a huge sell point for a lot of people. This is the value that people can SEE not BELIVE.

Nothing is decided, everething is possible.

The ONE and the PS4 are both based on X86 and similar.  The PS4 has faster memory in it, and also is able to render faster.  They are saying like 50% faster than the ONE.  These are raw numbers, and similar difficulty to code, if not the PS4 being easier, due to Microsoft including the extra RAM inside to offset the slower DDR3.  They may be in the same class, but the PS4 can at least keep up with the ONE, if not surpass it AND is is le4ss expensive.  I would seriously suggest you NOT compare the PS4 to the PS3 here, because the PS4 is easier to code for, much easier.
