The idea will be not that this is a pocket device, but that it's a portable table-top console that encourages people to gather around and play and if its for one player then the hook is that its better than a tablet at dedicated gaming.

But I see this at airports like a million times over, families with young kids gathered around a tablet playing. I think Nintendo has studied carefully how kids use tablets too. It will probably have a built-in kick stand like the Microsoft Surface line of tablets too. 

Let's hope it's a massive success at any rate. As competition is a wonderful thing and I would dislike for any company not to do well and fold up shop.
