The whole "NX isn't meant to 'replace' the 3DS/Wii " thing they keep spinning sounds an awful lot like what they were saying back in the day when the DS was on the horizon. - " The company did not provide many details, but stated it would not succeed the Game Boy Advance or GameCube.[9] "

Anyway, it's hard to say without knowing exactly what it is, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's going to be about as powerful, or maybe a bit more fine-tuned in comparison to Wii U specs. I doubt it'll have some expensive gimmick like the Wii U's tablet controller though, at least, if Nintendo is smart there won't be. This could allow them to aim for a pretty low $199 price tag and still have a killer mobile/home hybrid or whatever it's supposed it be.

It won't be much more powerful though, if it is at all. Releasing something with specs on the same level as the PS4/One mid-gen like this will be a disaster. Similar outcome as the Dreamcast, then.
