Neither option is a hybrid. as was said before, one option has two hardwares  and the other just a handheld, not to mention neither is a viable idea.

You are right that the next handheld should release for $199 with slightly better than ps360 hardware. The next home console, however, can't be slightly more powerfull than ps4 for as much as $299. a hardware slightly more powerfull than ps4 would cost $199 at launch in 2016/2017. The most probable option is a console considerably above ps4 costing $299 at launch. they will only use hardware at the same level as ps4 if there's something REALLY revolutionary about it.

PS4 and XB1 won't cost $199 by Holiday 2016 or even Holiday 2017, not sure why you think Nintendo would be able to offer better than PS4 graphics for $199 in 2016/2017. Nintendo doesn't like selling hardware at a loss, they've proven that with Wii U.

Ps4 could already be retailing for $299 right now and definetely $199 sometime in 2017. A console with similar hardware power but modern components could save some bucks in a few areas and retail for $199 late 2016, either breaking even or at a small loss (no loss if released in 2017).
