Imaginable, but still not practical. They wouldn't need uber powerful hardware to upscale 720p handheld games to 1080p (both should be a standard 60fps as they both pretty much are this gen), even if the handheld version of games are Wii U quality. I just don't see it. I see a huge jump power wise in their handheld console, and their typical jump in home console hardware. |
I was indulging op's idea a bit, I have repeated my opinion numerous times here and my ultimate belief is Nintendo is bringing the HH-HC "closer to the middle" so if the NX HH is near Wii U specs, the home version will be a touch higher. HH will be 540p-720p and home ver. 1080p (close to/sub XB1 specs) obviously.
But again, its highly possible that there will be other HW types and even levels, due to the united sw method. It will be more about the games than ever before, HW is becoming more and more inconsequential to Ninty so they can experiment with many forms and not devote or be tied down to 1 or 2 variants. It is the strength of the united SW library and scalability across HW, that can give Nintendo this freedom to try and satisfy each gamer's desire of HW type. ie Instead of 1-2 we could see up to 4 levels of HW type and power.
