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. 

If they relly want XB1/PS4 ports (and I think they want because they know they can't have successful console without 3rd party), they need at least power of XB1. Wii U had 1GB RAM reserved for OS, so we can assume that NX will have at least 1.5GB for OS, and 2.5GB RAM is definatly too low for easy XB1/PS4 ports and most likly 900/1080p resolution.

I dont think they will go for expensive gimmick again after Wii U. In 2017. they can easily have console with some kind of gimmick, power of at least XB1 (most likly around PS4) with price point of $299 and to have profit on each sold unit.
