OK, if this is for home consoles, it tells us that also the next Wii will be relatively low-power consumption, and also that it will come no sooner than at the end of 2017 (they wouldn't need a new HW engineer with the skills to choose key components if they were in a more advanced state of development). By 2017 end mid-low-power consumption CPUs and GPUs or APUs will run circles around current most powerful ones, so if Nintendo won't be avaricious with RAM, there won't be any problem about HW power. Most probably they'll use very scalable multi-core versions, to be able to stretch the specs initially decided adding some cores, if necessary, to manage new HW features and innovations devised by the overall system architects.
