I think they literally could even just take 2-3 of the same system on cores (with the CPU + GPU) and just plop two or three of those into a small microconsole casing -- voila, now you have something with more juice that can run on the TV at 1080p. That would probably also allow Nintendo to get the said System on Chip for even cheaper as it would be in high mass production. 


Are you referring to Wii U's chips?  They'd have to shrink it obviously, but that might work for the HH, not sure how multiple would work on the home con.


Nah not the Wii U's chips. ARM CPU + custom AMD (mobile) GPU that shares a lot of the Wii U's architecture layout, but not literally the same chip. 

Having one SoC that maybe can pump out 250 GFLOPS for the handheld variant, and then just throw 2 or 3 of those into a box for the "console" version. Voila you got a console that can now run the same games for the television at 1080P most likely without much fuss and perhaps more effects here and there for a low cost. 

The iPhone and iPad basically share pretty much the same chipset in a lot of cases.
