It really depends upon it's price. Something Nintendo seemed reticent to talk about yesterday. If it comes out at $300.00 or more, then it won't take off like gangbusters or sell 20 to 30 million its first year.
Meanwhile with evolving tech, Sony and MS could release handhelds just as powerful or more powerful at the same price, if it's initially high, a year later.

This is a Nintendo product we’re talking about; there is no chance that it will be $300 because that would make it the most expensive Nintendo system ever released. If the 3DS is expensive for Nintendo, I would expect it to be somewhere between $150 and $200; and at $200 I would anticipate Nintendo bundling it with a game.

If expensive for a Nintendo system is $150 to 200, then what do you call the current pricing of the DS line?
DS Light still costing $129 four years after its release and almost two years to the release date of DSi, DSi still carrying its $169.99 price tage, and DSi XL costing $189.99?
The 3DS will most likely cost much more than DSi XL which puts it at the $250.00 price point most probably and $300 if bundled with a game, so more than likely, at launch it will be the most expensive Nintendo console ever at the time of its release.
