I can guarantee you there wont be 8GB more RAM in the handheld. If there was ever plans for it to, I'm certain they've been scrapped. The PS6 handheld will have just enough RAM to play PS5 games. Sony will instruct devs to just make a PS5 game and port it over. It doesn't matter if it doesn't offer any benefit over the PS5. Sony will discontinue the PS5 and the new Playstation models will be the only ones available.

Xbox won't have a product at a mass market price so they're not a threat regardless of what they do, and the PS6 TV would still be leagues ahead of the Switch 2 technically so there really is nothing stopping them for doing this? Backlash for not being strong enough? Well, the backlash to the PS5 Pro price didn't hurt them at all, and actually only acted as a valuable free marketing campaign for Sony. People need to stop thinking they can hurt Sony with backlashes. 

I think you're loosing track of the discussion. 

If the PS6 lite is literally just the PS5 (and still without portability), doesn't have a ram advantage to properly take advantage of the ML capacities, why would the 100m who already have a PS5 buy it? If the existing userbase isn't interested in buying it, then the argument by the OP remains true.

1. Most PS5 owners will not upgrade to PS6 because it will be too expensive. (A cheap PS6 lite will not be considered an upgrade with your suggestion)
2. As a result PS6 will not get exclusives.

You mention PS5 Pro but its sales are nothing to brag about and wouldn't be able to support an ecosystem. They are solid for a Pro console but I don't it will match the 20% sell ratio of the PS4 Pro.
