So mobile graphics are indeed about to surpass the 360 and PS3. At this rate Microsoft and Sony will need to release successors to the PS4 and Xbox One by 2017 in order to stay ahead of mobile graphics.

The chances are good that by 2017 smartphones are more powerful than Xbone and PS4. However I dont think Sony and Microsoft have to worry just yet. Majority of the Android devices sold are not going to be 192 core GPU smartphones and developers will want their games to scale to midrange and low end devices in some cases. So games will never be designed utilize to full power of these devices as they have to run on 150 dollar Android phones too...

That's a bit unrealistic.  PS3 has an 8 or 9 year old GPU - which is just now being matched/passed by this Tegra K1 according to this announcement, which should be taken with a good pinch of salt.  Generally the processing power has increased at a good clip but memory bandwidth lags in mobile.
