This actually does work within Nintendo stubborn philosophies lol.
A chip like GT7900 only sips 7-8 watts, I think, to generate a pretty impressive 800 GFLOPS.
Downclock it to 600GFLOPS, and voila, there's your portable at 5-6 watts or so.
Put it in a mini-console, and voila 800GFLOPS at 8 watts, enough to make a Nintendo engineer get wet downstairs.
Put three of them inside a Wii U sized case ... and your still at sub-30 watts, this is even lower than the current Wii U!
The chip is also cheap and tiny. I could see them loving an approach like this.
