What if the PS5 plays all the games that release on PS6 though. If PS5 is capable of running all PS6 games (which is will be if there's a portable), then it's hard to call it the PS6. This is why I don't think Sony's next console will be called PS6. I think it will called more like this. Playstation Portable. Playstation budget. Playstation Premium. 

You missed the part "...while belonging to the PS6 generation...".

The hardware needs to be 10th generation (PS6 generation). Otherwise, PS7 (if full backward compatible) would also be a PS6. lol

I didn't miss that part. I just don't believe in generations being an arbitrary time limit that ends when a new console is launched. 

If the PS5 is MORE powerful than the PS6 handheld (which we are certain it is because the power saving mode is just a compatibility layer for PS6P) then it's not backwards compatible is it? Backwards compatible is when new hardware runs games from weaker older hardware. The PS5 will probably run all games even better than PS6P does. Doesn't fit the definition of backwards compatibility.
