I think it could sell 10 million units worldwide for Nintendo a year. At about $50 profit per unit, that's about $500 million in extra profit per year before selling a single game.
That's pretty low for a phone actually, the cell phone market is so much bigger than the game business.
Also $349.99 for an off-contract smartphone is pretty damn cheap actually, an iPhone off contract will run you $700+.
The important thing to remember is this is not a weird Nintendo OS phone. Outside of the gaming stuff, it's pretty much your standard Android phone, just with some Nintendo-ey apps thrown in (Miiverse, Mii Maker, etc.).
The goal should not be to compete against the likes of Apple or Samsung, they sell like 30-40+ million phones in a *quarter* (yeah take a seat PS4, lol). Even the crumbs from their table would give Nintendo a tidy little profit.
