It could be reasonably more powerful than a Wii U too, two Apple A8 processors (the ones in the iPhone 6) put into a tiny box would outperform a Wii U I think, three would be a good deal more powerful and this is a 2014 component, Nintendo will likely be able to get something better than that for 2016. 

I dunno, Nintendo also could have made a console much more powerful than Wii U for the same cost, but inexplicably chose to focus on other aspects, like power efficiency. The logical thing to do would be to make the Fusion a noticeable upgrade from Wii U on a horsepower level, but Nintendo rarely do the logical thing anymore.

I have a feeling Fusion will be in the same ballpark as Wii U power wise for the sake of portable parity, putting them not one but two generations behind when PS5 and Xbox Two launch.

You talk like new generations still mean a dramatic upgrade in graphical terms. From last gen to this, its already difficult to see the improvement. I expect next gen to be pretty unimpressive.

Aslong as it delivers 60fps on everything i would be happy though.
