I'm not even sure PS5/Xnext or whatever will even be actual consoles. Sony is leaning towards a streaming service and Microsoft is all about Windows 10 lately, so they might not put out traditional consoles.
Either way, if they can't make it powerful enough to be on par or relatively close to the 'new consoles' than they need to make a choice. Either combine their handheld and console markets so that they can put all of their software into one space, which would improve their output, or they can make an extremely powerful console that's friendly to third parties and risk it. Both options have positives and negatives.
