Well in previous generations, Nintendo wasn't aiming for a unified ecosystem between handhelds and consoles like Iwata has talked alot about lately.

Why do u think the console will be out of the handhelds league?

Sometimes downgrading a game won't simply be enough to get it running on a vastly weaker platform, hardware capability wise ... 

But I'm asking why do u think the platforms will be significantly different in hardware capabilities?

For example, let's say Nintendo's next handheld is somewhere right between Xbox 360 & Wii U in terms of performance, while their next console is a slight upgrade from Wii U similar to the upgrade from Gamecube to Wii. Would these two devices be close enough in power to recieve the same games, just upscaled/downscaled?
