All home consoles need a battery from here on out.

To increase costs and failure rates? Not to mention limiting their choice of chipset if it was for that purpose, a battery wouldn't power a PS4 for very long.

The best option would be a very small battery, just enough that when it detects a loss of power it can put the console into hibernation.

But neither are needed.
