I think realistically I wouldn't expect anything too crazy from Nintendo.
If you take the Wii U chip, replace the PowerPC CPU cores with AMD cores that can approximate/emulate the CPU side and put that 14nm/16nm, then shrink the Wii U GPU to 14/16nm, there's your portable chip at 6-7 watts.
Scale that chip up 2-3x for the console. Now you have the console that can easily play all the portable games. Throw in a new gimmick and a strong focus on Amiibo toys.
That's probably all she wrote. While it's fun to speculate on some super-console from Nintendo I doubt they will in reality do that. I expect the console to be fairly weak by 2016/17 standards, the portable will be relatively powerful though given that it'll be able to match Wii U graphics on a portable. So at least that'll be pretty cool I guess.
