Actually, not necessarely. Since the graphics chip will still come from AMD anyway (although the architecture has changed from Terascale to GCN in the meanwhile, it could still be similar enough to include a "Wii U mode"), only the CPU of the Wii U would be really needed, and considering how small that chip alone is on the console's chipset, production cost should't be too high. The software to safely pull this off is an entirely different matter though, but Nintendo already does a very similar thing on the Wii U, which switches between ARM (Menue, browser...) and IBM POWER (games)
