They may as well go with a gimmick focused console at this point, they simply can't compete with Neo/Scorpio on power so that opening is basically closed to them.

I just hope the chipset isn't a complete piece of crap like the Wii was. Gimme 1 TFLOP + 4GB of RAM (which is freaking low) and I'll be OK, that's at least a decent upgrade over the Wii U.

Whatever the gimmick is it better be something spectacular and easy to understand. 

I really don't see NX being less powerful than XB1, and if have only 4GB of RAM that means that only 2-3GB RAM would free for developers and that's much more less than XB1/PS4 have, so that again would very inferior XB1/PS4 ports. Also RAM is today very cheap.

You never know with Nintendo, 1GB for the OS would leave 3GB for the games, even in that case, it's a nice sized upgrade over the Wii U. 

It's quite possible whatever new "gimmick" they have will swallow up a good chunk of the hardware budget too. I just can't really envision a simple plastic controller radically altering the market again, they'll need something bigger than that.
