I don't think there's many generations of hardware left anyway.

There will be a Playstation 5, yeah probably, but Playstation 6? Doubt it. Dedicated hardware will be replaced eventually by a streaming service, just like Netflix killed Blockbuster Video.

Enjoy it while it lasts, once things like Google Fiber and higher speed internet inevitably spread through the US, the home console's days are numbered.

As for Nintendo releasing a new Fusion platform in 2016, Sony/MS don't have a lot to be worried about IMO, it won't be something aimed directly at them. Expect something that uses handheld/mobile chips, but just allows you to run those games on a TV at 1080p (versus the handheld resolution). Graphical fidelity will likely be an OK-ish improvement on the Wii U, but nothing major simply because the handheld can't realistically be much more powerful than that. 

Beyond that I don't think Nintendo has any real desire to compete head on anyway, those days are long over. 

You're probably right.  Next gen the ps5 best case scenario will probably be around 70-80m. Largely due to emerging markets too.
