I expect the next Nintendo console to be announced in 2016 and release in 2017, around 5 years after the Wii U launched. I expect them to want to move onto to next gen sooner than Sony, and possibly MS, which will probably release the PS5 in 2019 or 2020. (Edit: After thinking about it, 2019 seems more reasonable. This way they could help promote it with a celebration of 25 Years of Playstation.)
Also, if Nintendo is going to go the cheap route, again, and aim for HW slightly more powerful than the PS4, then they should expect another repeat of this gen. Core gamers, for the most part, are not looking for slightly better graphics with a gimmicky controller. They are going to want a PS5, which will probably be ~4x-6x more powerful than the PS4 and will probably completely blur the line between cinematic and in game graphics.

I take it you meant the wii? because wii u isn't just slightly more powerfull than last gen.

Hmm, I thought all Nintendo fans had given up on those power hopes. I guess there are still a few hopefuls out there. And yes, I mean the Wii and the Wii U. Both of which were/are just slightly more powerful than the strongest consoles of the previous gen. The Xbox for the Wii and the PS3 for the Wii U. In the Wii U's case, it has a better GPU, but a weaker CPU.
And as one of your other comments go, no the Wii U is not comparable or just a little behind the PS4. It is a generation behind in terms of power. The specs show this, as does the games' graphics/resolutions.
