We can't ignore that it is both a handheld and console (and likely a tablet). This will certainly effective its percieved value and ability to sell at a higher price $299.

The 3DS was averaging 80k a week when it was performing badly, with no compelling software and no clear justification for its fairly high price (unless you see 3D as justification). 

 

 

 

The 3ds had bad sales early on due to early adopters. Even the wii u had a respectable first 3 months (comparable to the Xbox one actually).

That price will simply be too much for a handheld (people won't be interested in the console portion since the competition is killing it). Merging the 2 ideas is actually what leads me to believe that it will drag below 20 million (rough estimate until actual details come out)

It being a hybrid handheld/tablet is exactly why it won't need to compete against PS4/X1. The tablet market is still huge (200m+ units a year) and many sell for well over $299. A premium spec tablet that lets you play Mario Kart (with splitscreen) and Pokemon will be quite a compelling purchase for many who are familar with nintendo but aren't necessarily interested in a dedicated Nintendo console in 2016. Theres very little info to go off of course, we don't even know whether Nintendo will push it as a tablet but I think it gonna sell like hot cakes at $299.
