I'm really looking forward to see if they can pull off both third-party friendly console architecture that is scalable enough for their next handheld - which will be quite a task, if they decide to pursue that path.
Considering that next gen PS and XBox are expected to have around (current tech) 15TFLOPS GPUs, IMO, Nintendo can't go under at least 5TFLOPS if they expect 3rd parties to relatively easily port their games - and that would, again IMO, call for handheld that is at least as powerful as iPad Air 2 or nVidia Shield Tablet (or maybe even more).
Needless to say, in this scenario, both console and handheld would be fairly expensive for Nintendo's design philosophy, so I'm more inclined to believe that we will see less powerful hardware, and most likely again lack of 3rd party support.
Honestly, I'm hoping I'm dead wrong and they eventually manage to make something that is scalable, yet powerful enough for 3rd parties.
