Prediction: PS6 won't sell over 50 million units lifetime.

Nah... They will do much better than 50m. Especially if you combine PS6 and PS6 portable.

Any PS6 that is weaker than PS5 Pro is a PS6 in name only. If Sony were to release a PS6 with the specs of a Vita would you be back in this thread years later to claim my prediction was wrong? Or would you have the sense to admit that such a device is in no way a PS6? 

Imho, the criteria is simple.

1. My personal criteria:

Does it play all major PS6 exclusives games while belonging to the PS6 generation ?

Yes. it's a PS6 device.

No. it's not a PS6.

Edit.: 

2. Objective criteria:

Playstation reports: if Sony calls the thing Playstation 6 and put sales together, the thing is a Playstation 6.

It's just like series S to Series X. You can argue that series S is weaker than Xone X, but you can't take away it's position as a "next gen Xbox Series X|S device".

Nintendo has a hybrid home console.

Xbox has 2 tiers of next gen home devices.

Rumor: Sony has 2 next gen Playstation devices, PS6 and PS6 portable. Both play the same games, both are Playstation 6.
