>low power/low cost hardware like nintendo with nvidia
Nah, I doubt this. With PS6 they're trying a lower power handheld PS6 that you can dock* (*sold separately) launching alongside the normal PS6. It's likely the cheaper option will be the handheld, the more expensive option will be the console itself. They've also positioned themselves as the high graphical fidelity AAA company so that's their niche while Nintendo does its own thing with lower budget and lower visual fidelity games.
Past that it's up in the air because this gen specifically has given them a fairly large dose of humble pie with all the cancelled projects and underperforming games, Astro Bot and R&C doing better than they expected showing smaller games work, and them basically kicking a rock down the road with remasters to pad the time between releases. They might take those lessons to heart and stop chasing the live service dragon when Marathon and Fairgame$ fail, but if Marathon survives past six months that's going to be really bad for everyone because it confirms to Sony to keep investing into live service.
We also have no idea if Apple or Amazon might try capitalizing on the vacuum. They both keep humming and hawing about doing so, the former has ties with tons of proper game developers due to Apple Arcade while the latter own gaming studios, and both have general clout to get people to their side. Valve is another option with that leaked project of theirs basically being a Steam Machine concept but by them so I can see them try peddling SteamOS + the fact it can run other PC launchers and GamePass. Someone will very likely try capitalizing on it.
