I don't think that means they won't have powerful hardware at all. Just means that their hardware philosophy doesn't involve a tech race to the top and a price race to the bottom. The GCN wasn't made to be a powerful console. Still was. The SNES wasn't made to be a powerful console. Still was. The N64 wasn't made to be a powerful console. Still was.
People are definitely in the right in expecting a powerful console. I think people are in the wrong when they think Nintendo will compromise their overall vision to achieve that power.
BC, is staying. They aren't going to compromise that for more power. An affordable price point is staying. They aren't compromising that for power. The gamepad is staying. Won't compromise that for power. Whatever the NX is will be the most powerful thing that they can create that maintains that initial vision for the NX. That's why, for example, they won't use X86 if it means dropping BC. Not happening.
But yeah, far from "we're not interested in high specs." Title is completely incorrect. They are just not interested in a spec penis measuring contest like the other two are.
