Realistically, how powerful can Nintendo's next handheld & console be if they release at $199.99 each?

The PS4 launched in 2013 and was profitable from day one so I think it could easily be more powerful than PS4 if it released in 2017. 

The PS4 released at $400. In 2016/2017 it will probably retail for more that $200 (the guideline stipulated by the OP.) With inflation, this difference is slightly more pronounced. I can't see them making a profitable console for $200 that is more powerful than the PS4 in 2016/2017.

Just becuase PS4 will probably be more than $200.00 doesn't mean it will cost more than that in 2017. I think if Nintendo WANTED to release something that beefy they could and still make money off the thing. 

I think it will all hinder on the controller. Standard controller will help alot with cost etc.
