That would (in turn) be less powerful than the Scorpio and Neo. You're option then seems like the library overall would be the most important thing. 

That's not what I'm saying.

When the PS4 came out, it was 400$, it was cutitng edge. The scorpio and neo will be cutting edge when they come out, and will hopefully be priced reasonably (at 400-500$).

Nintendo can make something very comparable at 300-400$, it doesn't need to have 4k playback, but it needs to have graphical parity.

If they reduce the cost of the console by stripping it of optional input controls (wiimote, Ugamepad), they can have graphical parity, a very strong launch library (combining HH and Home), all at an attractive entry price.

These things are not mutually exclusive. It's like a recipe. You would not like brownies with no chocolate in them, or without flour.

But as you're also saying, the PS4 and Xbone fall into the same price range. I can't see a console more powerful than the base options (to any noticable degree, see Wii U vs Xbox 360/PS3) for the other two releasing for $300. Essentially being at this point where more powerful tech is coming out, it isn't going to be parodying the two newer consoles. 

Based on "generation" perspectives, it will also be roughly a gen behind as well.
