To be honest a hybrid wouldn't be *that* bad. It would be immediately and very easily functionally different from the XB1/PS4 in a way consumers would be able to understand very quickly.
And I do think the tech is there or very close to being there ... PowerVR has 800 GFLOP chip since last year using mobile components and they've said they could go even higher than that if a vendor really wanted. AMD probably can do the same.
The porting part sounds really interesting though, if Nintendo has aped MS/Sony's design architectures to somehow allow for painfully easy ports that can be compiled together with no fuss ... that's a potentially ingenious move.
