Well having "lower power" doesn't make the hardware automatically cheaper to make either. 

The NX will have to have a screen ... a 7-8 inch screen even with a cheap resolution is still going to cost in the range of $40-$50, the battery doesn't come for free either, then you have you actual chipset costs ... just because it only outputs say 600 GFLOPS doesn't mean it costs 1/3 the price. That's not how component pricing works.

It doesn't need to be 1/3 or even 1/2 the price of PS4/X1, just not so close in price that it invites comparison.

Like I said, this device very well could cost as much as the XBox 1. Pricing it so it doesn't invite comparison could mean Nintendo eating $50 in losses. 

Let it invite comparison anyway ... there is no device on the planet that runs something close to XB1 graphics on the road. Nothing like that on the market is even close, not even the $1000 iPad Pro because no one codes to the metal for that Apple A9X chip.
