why should the nx be as strong as the wiiu? the gap from wiiu to xbone isnt that huge.(or nintendo devs are way better than m$ devs).
and end 2016 we could see smartphones that are stronger than the xbone...

 

The Wii U is not even as powerful as the PS3 and was freaking expensive for it's specs partly due to the controller but still. For 250$ charging 100$ for the tablet Nintendo made a system which has yet to beat Uncharted 2. So for 250$ for the NX probably and Nintendo wanting a profit this machine will leave the specs very close to Xone. 

 

Btw the Xone is way more powerful than the Wii U, it has a better gpu, more ram, a way better gpu and it's easy to make games for thus better optimisable, the Witcher 3 couldn't probably run on low 720p 30fps on Wii U.


Actually, the Wii U is quite a bit more powerful than the 7th gen consoles. Its just that it has a strange architecture, thus making it hard to optimize games. Also TW3 would probably have to run at 540p and quite a bit lower than the lowest settings in order to be playable.
