I agree with your speculation on the NX's console capabilities because I think Nintendo is perceptive enough to know that everyone from the media to Nintendo fans to gamers in general are going to look at the power of Nintendo's next console before anything else. If it's strong enough, it will assure people that Nintendo is trying to create a platform for core gamers like they keep on insisting they are doing. If it's weak, I'm betting people are going to quickly disregard it as another casual console regardless of its launch titles.
As for the handheld, it's hard to say.
