Nintendo Fusion Handheld Chip - 280-300 GFLOPS performance. Runs games at 540p-720p resolution.
Nintendo Fusion "Console" - Basically the same chip as above, just two or three of them thrown into a small box together with say double the RAM. Runs the same games, but can run them at 1080P with perhaps a few added effects (FSAA) and 60 fps locked.
That's basically what I think will happen. The "console" will be something the size of an AppleTV and it will just be handheld components. But it you string 2-3 of those chips together, you probably have something reasonably quite powerful.
If you put three A7 processors (the Apple iPhone 5s/iPad Air chip) in a box together, I'm pretty sure it would be more powerful than a PS3/360.
The other smart thing about this approach is Nintendo could get a big discount on chip prices by using the same chips for both product lines (bigger orders = lower costs) and they also save the R&D of having to developing two chip architectures.
