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.

Vita is 9x more powerful than the New 3DS?

I expect Wii U --> successor to be a GCN --> Wii degree jump, and I doubt that's a 10x power increase.

In terms of raw power yes, Vita is capable of up to 52 gflops while the New 3DS is something between 4 and 6. It shows in every aspect. Also do you expect the next home console to be weaker than the XBO? If so, that will set a new precedent. It would probably cost Nintendo more money to manufacture a gaming capable GPU that weak in 2017. It would also make no sense considering there are retail cards that cost $100 that best the XBO and an embedded chip with a bulk deal from AMD would be even cheaper than that in 2017. I think you are going to be surprised.  Expect at the very minimum PS4 level performance, which is about 6-7 times the raw performance of the Wii U.
