Presuming Nintendo's next handheld actually will outspec it. There's certainly a possibility that it won't.

There is a possibility, but it's relatively small.

1. The Vita is comparable to three year old phones in terms of hardware. You can find phones with Vita level hardware for $70. That is how quickly the mobile/handheld hardware is changing.

2. Nintendo is planning a unified platform with "cross-platform" games. If they make their next handheld too weak, then this would be difficult to develop and plan for, assuming their console form-factor is at least a little bit more powerful than the Wii U (and we should assume it is a little bit more powerful than the PS4/XBO at the least.) 


Unified platform does not mean that they will release cross-platform games aka releasing their games on both the NX HC and the NX HH. It means they will have a similar/same architecture and OS, which will make it easier to develop for both at the same time for Nintendo.
