There is a possibility if they announce console 299 USD price, it would have the same graphical power with Xbox One or PS4, (just like Wii U with the same class with Xbox 360 and PS3) but if it's hybrid then it will have the same power as Wii U (because it will be to cheap building a tablet that have a capability with PS4) so i think that's my opinion based on current tech we have at the present.

I seriously doubt that the home console will be the same power as Wii U, even if they use the fusion concept.First because that would piss off people even more.After all, its a Wii U level power, so why change the console at all?Second because Nintendo always increased the Console power for the next generation, even if it wasnt a giant step, like the gamecube to the Wii.And third, if they did that, they would be in the same horrible situation they are now with third party.So no, it wont be same power.

The key word here is "Fusion " like tablet device that can be mobile, imagine if you can bring a tablet as powerful as Wii U, people will interested. Trust me, why people not interested with Wii U because they are not mobile (like iPad or Android) . It doesn't matter if powerful or not, what is matter is if the design fit with the casual.

For home console it will be the same power with PS4 or slightly better but it will be difficult to distinguised just like with PS3 and Wii U, or NX will be benefit utilize low power or small factor, but result the same out put with PS4

Thats completely wrong.People didnt buy the Wii U for several reasons, several things that Nintendo did wrong.(bad marketing of the Wii U at first year, lack of titles first year, confusing name, and many more)People wouldnt buy the Wii U just because they could take the gamepad everywhere as a tablet.If people wanted a tablet, they would just buy a apple or samgsung tablet, which are more effective for the things those people want.Nothing more, nothing less.Outside of games,Nintendo dosent have a name nearly as strong as apple and samgsung with the casuals.Even Miyamoto admitted that the tablet like controller was a bad idea, since the novelty of tablets have already fade off by the time Wii U launched.

 

What people are actually excited about the idea of the fusion concept, as you didnt grab it, is that it would resolve two big problems:First is the game droughs.Having all Nintendo teams working for one system architeture, and so releasing most games to both systems, that would almost surely resolve the game droughts that Wii U and 3DS suffered for lack of third party support(Wii U much more than 3DS).And secondly it would help get third party on board, since they would create games for basically two systems for the cost of one, and thus a much larger install base.Of course there are alot of other reasons, such as taking your game save from the console to the handheld and being able to play it wherever you want, but people are more excited about it because that would solve the problem of lack of games, even if third party presence is small again.And all those rumours of industry leading chips are making people even more exciting, even if that could mean anything
