Not really. The 3DS is somewhere between 4-6 gflops in computing power. Even if its successor was as powerful as the PS Vita (which is a conservative estimate) that is about 9.1 times more raw power than it has now.
Unless you believe the PS5 is going to be close to 20 tflops (about four modern top of the line GPU's sli'd or crossfired) in computing power then the percent change for the 3DS is going to be much, much greater than the PS4's.
The Wii U will probably go to an x86 architecture, so we can't really compare floating points too much, but it will probably end somewhere between 3-5 tflops, which is also about ten-times what it is now
So I can't really see how anyone is setting themselves up for dissapointment. These will likely be true statements even if Nintendo uses their prior trend of being a generation/half-a-generation behind in terms of computing power.
