There isn't a reason for NX to be weaker than the PS4

It's Nintendo. Honestly I'll be reasonably satisfied if it's as good as the vanilla PS4, forget PS4K.

Yes it's Nintendo. I'm actually expecting them to make an XBox One.... Albeit like a PS4.

So basically APU with CPU clocked at 2Ghz, 14CU GPU clocked at 800-1000mhz and 8GB of GDDR5 RAM. They probably wouldn't even bother putting in a HDD but allow u use an external HDD. 

Then come in at a price of at most $299.
