You still didn't answer on my simply question:

if 1700 mAh battery last around 4-5 hours in 3DS XL with two displays (one 4.9" and one 3.5") or 1500 mAh Wii U gamepad battery last around 4 hours on 6.2" display how exatly 3000 mAh battery would be to little for next Nintendo gameing handheld with probably 5-6" display!?


It would be fine ... as long as your hardware is only consuming 2-3 watts max. 

Which means graphics better than the Vita, but considerably below the Wii U/XBox 360. 

You'd get a processor similar to the Apple A8 (the vanilla one, not the A8X) which can pump out about 115 GFLOPS and battery life of about 3 hours. 

3000 MaH is nothing special. 

What Apple has been able to do with their phones through the software/hardware integration is bring down the power usage of tasks like web browsing, video viewing, and other general smartphone usage so they use very little electricity. But that doesn't work in the same way for intensive 3D video games, the iPhone still rips through battery when forced to play higher end games. 

I personally would ditch the 3DS form factor if neccessary and go with a more tablet style form factor. The battery and the resulting chipset you could put inside would be far superior providing a better experience all around. 

Frankly, Vita graphics are so much better than 3DS (I finding that even PSP graphics look better) that only Vita graphics for next Nintendo handheld would be huge improvement (probably biggest improvement for any Nintendo handheld), but maybe we can expect even better graphics with 720p screen.

Vita have 5" display with 2200mAh battery that holds around 4 hours.
