It's possible that the home console uses mobile parts similar to the way Apple TV/Amazon Fire TV use the same parts as their smartphone counterparts.

Interesting, but wouldn't it be underpowered in this case? If it was easy to build a decently strong console like that, I don't think MS would have opted for a big one like XB1, for example.

Well power and size aren't really directly related, PS4 is quite a bit smaller than XB1 yet more powerful. Also there is the Nvidia Shield TV which is more powerful than Wii U despite being much smaller and using Mobile chips.

Also I don't really think Nintendo has any desire to compete directly with PS4/XB1 so power isn't a massive issue, NX just needs to run modern engines like Unity & Unreal 4 while being easy to port games to.
