If rumor of NX being ARM is true, this is expected. ARM is kicking ass. Problem is porting will be harder on this new architecture, unless they plan porting mobile games.

And the deal-breaker will be GPU, most precisely, PS4K GPU vs NX GPU. I would bet PS4K would win, since sony wants to leverage VR, which is very GPU demanding.

Although I do think that Nintendo will use ARM for both the hand held and console, I think your comment on porting is inaccurate though. As long as ARM is supported by the majority of game engines out there (which it is). Porting games to the NX shouldn't be any harder than if the system was x86. What will actually help Nintendo is if the NX is easily more advanced than both the PS4&XbOne in technical specifications by a good margin. This would insure that NX versions of games could be ported without any issues and focus on optimization for the hardware.
