I hope the NX is a 10 year, mega powerful console, that is expensive.

I wouldn't confuse the N64 and gamecube basic competance with power.  

I was thinking that if Nintendo was reallly going to release as new console only 4 years after the WiiU, they could at least make it more on the beast side than being similarly powerfull to the PS4.

Basic competance? In what world? N64 and gamecube were considered very powerful for their time. N64 was unbalanced due to cardridges size but was still getting games that were before only possible on PC and the gamecube absolutely shat on the PS2 and had early titles like Rogue Squadron and Star Fox Adventures which the PS2 was never able to compete with, not even at the end of its life. Basic competence would have been Nintendo releaseing a dreamcast spec system in 2001.

The equivalent of Nintendo repeating N64 or Gamecube in 2017 would be producing a console signifcantly more powerful then the PS4, which is why I referenced those 2 systems. Nintendo's home console history is not one of producing weak systems like wii/wii u.

gamecube top vs PS2 bottom.

I love how people tends to forget this. N64 and NGC were powerful machines capable of great modern games. Even both Metroid Primes in the NGC hold pretty well in our days.
