Why Sony should also use a Cell Processor for PS5 (x86+Cell coprocessor)

Nah. An 8 core Ryzen (+) will be enough for next generation by itself. It may also be enough to pull off PS3 B/C, if they even care about that at this point. It will also keep costs down, since Sony is going to want to launch at $399, again. I think we'll at least be getting PS4 Pro B/C.

I wouldn't bet on it being $399 again.

We just saw a $499 console hit the market and that underwhelmed people for not always hitting 4K or 60 fps.

If the PS4 was wildly successful launching at $399 while the PS3 and XBO were panned for launching at $499+, why would they go back to the unsuccessful price point? I think you simultaneously overestimate the importance of power vs. price to the average consumer while underestimating what will be possible at $399 in a few short years with 7nm.
