Yeah, having a slightly less powerful console than the XBox One would hardly be a good selling point. Hopefully when it is announced, it will be for a 2017 release, with the price tag reflecting the best parts the console can get, while maintaining a $300 price tag for the PREMIUM edition. Being on par or even slightly more powerful than the PS4 would be the least they should go for. It will have been 4 years +, so this should be completely doable.
If I were to dream, Nitnendo offering the first 4k console would be an amazing selling point I think. People in the next couple of years will be upgrading, and Visio and Samsung already have them at around $600 - $800. Give it two more years and it will be a viable resolution to support. Show that at some Gamestops (in 4K 60fps), that'll get people talking.

What you said sounds nice, but I can imagine Nintendo being in the middle of the PS4 and a 4K console. Perhaps, a system that can easily do 1080p 60fps with 8k textures etc, If they did that, with a solid lineup of launch games, I would be sold.

This is what I pretty much think as well. It'll be an upgrade to be sure, but won't push the boundries. I just can't really think of anything Nintendo could do that would keep them from talking about it openly. What new ways to play are their going to be? VR and augmented reality is out, we know that already. What else could it be? They should be the first to give us 4K and whatever the next physical media is going to be. It's not going to happen, and at the end of the day I will be fine with it, unless they pull another Wii. While it's a system I enjoyed, having a Gamecube (technically) for around a decade SUCKED! I'm of a mind that even if you go cheaper hardware, you should never stay in the same place. Even though the Wii U is less powerful than the PS4, it is still a massive improvement over the Wii. They need to keep making these jumps.
