I think it will be the HDS and it will be a massive upgrade in power over the Vita. I personally don't think Nintendo will go with the whole fusion idea.

Weak HW and online experience affects the 3rd parties/crowd , and with those relations not improving anytime soon, Ninty is forced to support itself with the Fusion idea.  

Fusion will basically be a perfected, slightly more powerful Vita + PS4, with the priorities reversed.  Ninty's next console won't be crippled by an expensive gamepad, b/c that is what the handheld is for.  The console will be sold with a reg. controller, and also an sku without any controller.  

 Freedom phab (HH) - $199 

U-nity (console) - $199

coming April 2017

ya thats pretty much exactly how i see it except i dont think the console will be more powerful than PS4, im thinking a bit more powerful than Wii U similar to the gap between GC & Wii.

Since Iwata said they want to "absorb" the architecture of Wii U for future devices i think it will have similar hardware as Wii U but a fadter CPU and double the RAM.

basically the fusion handheld will essentially be a somewhat downgraded Wii U in specs and the console will be a somewhat upgraded Wii U. this way they can share the same library just with a different resolution/frame rate between devices.
