I think you're going to be proven wrong on this but we'll see. You simply cannot put a high end portable chip into something the size of even the 3DS XL and not have heat issues and a unified platform needs a high end portable IMO, otherwise the console version is going to have to be crippled in horsepower too, otherwise games will not scale up and down. 

They'll figure something out. If it were ultimately between keeping two screens or being more powerful, they'll keep the two screens. That's not even up for debate, especially with the console variant effectively confirmed to have a second screen now.

"They'll figure something out", lol like they'll find some magical Nintendium trasisitor technology. There's nothing to figure out. Even at 14nm you cannot get Wii U level horsepower into a casing that small. It will have to run at 4w-5w minimum. 

You probably need the screen on the console controller just to ensure feature compatibility with a handheld of any type, that has nothing to do with whether or not the handheld has two screens or one. If portable NX has Mario Maker 2.0, well then the console version kinda needs a screen too for that game to be playable. That doesn't definitevely prove anything. 

Besides it's one thing to have rinky dink tiny 3-4.5 inch screens x2 when your graphics capability is ass like the DS/3DS are, but if they actually have a nice chip in the portable NX, for goodness sake, why wouldn't you want a nice large display for those bigger experiences? To me it just makes no sense. Let the past be the past, it's not 2004 anymore, get with the times.
