For now, perhaps. In the long term? I doubt it. 

Unlikely, but a possibility imo. Really depends on the next 18 months. Wouldn't surprise me to se this system doing 6 mill units a year, in fact I struggle to see it ever doing even close to 10m, they just don't have that level of audience to appeal to. Casuals don't want to know and never will, neither will core gamers.

True, but I would argue the next 9 months are the crucial point,  in 18 months it'll be too late. We should be seeing loads of multi million sellers in the next 9 months, which should create a niche for the system which will give it success. If it can't manage that before Smash Bros. falls, then I don't see that helping all that much because the other systems will be dominant, and it'll be resigned to obscurity like the GameCube.

I say 18 because they need to knock it out of the park this holiday and retain the momentumn. But it's only going to get harder, PS4 and Xbox One launching, and PS360 price cuts.
