Power-hungry gamers fear NS because they fear next gen both Sony and MS will follow its example, at least partially, including a hybrid model in the range of their home console platform, so the power of such model will be the minimum games will need to not exceed in their requirements, and games without additional budget for optimisations will just upscale or offer what standard lòibraries and drivers can do without rewriting code on more powerful models. Moreover, having arrived mid-gen, NS example will force Sony and MS to pospone their next gen launch if they want to follow its example, for many reasons, the most important is raw development times, rushing a project is always bad, and doing it after introducing a radically different paradigm is even worse, the second most important reason is that even the hybrid models will need to outperform current gen base models, at least when docked, and they'll have to do it at a cost that allow the console to be priced at no more than $400 at launch.
