I had a feeling this would be the case. Why would they release a console weaker than ps4 or xbox one in the middle of this gen?

Edit: "We're not interested in high end specs" ... Well, I guess more people will not be interested in Nintendo.

Actually thats not correct.  People will be interested in the NX if it offer something different and better than the PS4 or X1.  I rather Big N take risk and do their own thing then go into the hardware war and just be another one of the crowd.  a decent price with innovative tech that will get my money since I love Nintendo games.

I love Nintendo games as well, but I will not spend money on another Wii like console. I would rather stick with their handhelds. 

I don't know what they plan on doing, but making another console that 3rd parties won't support is not a good idea. If they can get rid of their game droughts, and they can't do it without 3rd parties, then they'd be solving their biggest problem. I don't believe specs were the biggest reason people didn't buy a Wii U, but there are a lot of people interested in specs and it definitely was one of the reasons. A powerful console will get a lot of people on board. If Wii U had Xbox One like graphics, or even just under, it would have sold more consoles. Specs do matter, not to everyone, but to say that's incorrect is false.

They don't have to above Sony and MS, they just need to be closer to them than Wii U is. Going with a console that is only as strong as the previous gen or weaker is a big mistake IMO.
